Today is the day!

We are up already...at 4 a.m. and so excited to finally meet our Lili-Kate. We were able to talk with our guide last night that gave us some very valuable information. He took us to this fascinating outdoor chinese restaurant. The food was delicious and the best meal we have had since we arrived. We walked back to the hotel and I was amazed at how beautiful the city of Nanning is. It is tropical and it smells wonderful when you are walking down the street. When we were leaving the hotel we met another adoptive family arriving who will also be meeting their new daughter today at the same time as we do. They are from Illinois and very sweet.

Please continue to pray for us. We are anxious, excited, nervous...but know God is in this whole thing! We decided to ask our guide here to translate Lili's chinese name for us. We had already asked our guide in Beijing but thought we would see if we got the same interpretation. He said that Yi Ci means "a beautiful gift from God". Wow! I guess words can't really express at all what we are really feeling. Pray for divine favor with our new baby girl. Pray for her foster family. Pray for our children. Thanks to all of you who have sent words of encouragement and support. It really means so much to us!
