No pictures this time, just some frustrating news. We found out right before our flight took off from Beijing to Lanzhou to meet Luke, that we wouldn't be meeting Luke today. The director of the orphanage has to be present when Luke is brought to us, and he is out of town today, so we are scheduled to meet him here in the hotel tomorrow (Monday for us) at about 3pm. I don't know when I've been so disappointed. But it is only one more day, so I shouldn't complain too much. We'll post pictures as soon as we get any of us and Luke together.
On the upside, our hotel here in Lanzhou is amazing. Our agency signed us up for a two room suite and it is very nice. We met our guide, Michael, today. He will be with us the rest of the time we are in China. He has great English, and it has been nice having him with us as we order food and try to buy things. Ivy is still doing really good. She sleeps very well during the night and has been so easy going during this whole trip, though we are constantly reminding her to not lick things. She loves pretending she is a dog and insists on walking around on all fours (very dirty) then licking her hands and everything else she things is interesting (including people) - very embarrassing at times. We are working on it. My worst fear is that Luke will think she is funny and copy everything she does!

Hey Maybe thats why everyone is taking her pics ...because she is acting like a little doggie...or it could be because she is so darn cute...hummm...
I wonder if people there think all American children go around licking things and people! :)
I'm so, so sorry about the delay getting to see Luke. I can't imaging how it feels. Maybe how it feels to find out your labor is false labor and the hospital is sending you home! TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE! All our love and prayers are with you. Give Ivy a kiss for us. Love, Michelle
Hi bloggy. I'm so glad you got to see the great wall! I am completely disgusted that Ivy is touching the ground... After being in China, you aren't going to bat an eye when your kids, (fun to say), are rolling around in the streets here. It will look like the cleanest surface you've ever seen. Good luck tomorrow. We will pray for you and an uneventful end to this process.
I wonder how far out of town that guy went since you went "out of town" as well to get Luke? Sorry to hear it didn't work out today. (now your tomorrow)The pictures of you all in China are fabulous. I am glad you are having a good time there. Thank you for the updates.
