We're Here!

Just a quick note to say that we have arrived in Shanghai! We had a quick flight to Detroit and then a direct flight from Detroit to Shanghai. The fourteen hour flight was uneventful (just the way I like them) and quite smooth. Chipmunk was a champion traveler...barely got his nose out of his Nintendo DS (an early 9th birthday present). He slept very little (as opposed to Stu and me) so I'm hoping that means he'll sleep great tonight and get on "China time" easily.
Tomorrow we are doing a little sightseeing around the area and then Monday is Sprout day!! It's a little surreal to know that we are finally in the same city as her after thinking about her being half way around the world for the past ten months.
Only 36 more hours!!
By the way, Chipmunk is keeping his own blog during our travels. He would love it if you read it and leave him comments:

Found your blog through some other Ch*na blogs. We are adopting a little girl from the Shanghai Children's Home so it is fun to find other blogs who are also in Shanghai! Can't wait to follow along on the rest of your trip....and will be praying for your sweet girl's transition!
