Well the big day is almost here! You must have butterflies as big as a house in your bellies! You both look a bit more relaxed. We can't wait to see you with Sophia! It's great everyone made it safe and sound. Thanks for the pics! We were supposed to get a big storm but not in Moncton maybe JJ is playing in a snow bank on the Miramichi though! Lots of love - M&M

Kept track of your flight on the web through the airport website!

You guys must be sooooo excited!

Went to see Jenna yesterday and she was hae a ball with Austin. Mom and Dad had a leak in the roof again and Jenna was soooo cute saying there is something wrong with your house Nanny and then snuggling with her on the couch. Her and Austin could not contain their excitement as Nanny popped the water bubble on the ceiling to let the water out! I think they thought a waterfall was coming! lol

Anyway have fun! Tammy and Robert

Hi Barb ,Mike and Sophia: We picked Jenna up at 11 am. It is so nice to see and have her with us again. We got your voice message and glad to hear from you and that all is going well. The photos you posted are very clear and I enlarged them with photo shop 2. Would it be okay to show them to Jenna?? We will await direction from both of you.We are confident that all will go well for the 3 of you. Jenna is having great time playing tricks on me especially. She is now having her nap. Enjoy the rest of your stay in China...Much Love.. Mum and Dad Whalen
