And so it begins...

FIRST POST!!!

Well, now that THAT is out of the way...

As some of you may or may not know:  We, The Hopkins Family, are adopting a little boy from China.

Daniel "Kang Nan Dang" Hopkins - aka Danny

Our "United Day" will be Monday, June 11th, 2012.


Today, June 5, 2012, is his 4th birthday!

Please, wish him a Happy Birthday.

We have been working towards this for the last 19 months or so and now it is Crunch Time.

It is the day before travel and we are all really frazzled.

R is fried.  I'm deep fried.  The kids are barely crispy and I don't think that they really have a concept of what this will be like... But, deep breath, we can do this, we can do this, we can do this!!!

Wait, ... WE ARE DOING THIS!!  :-D

At 3:40pm tomorrow the plane will be pulling away from the gate and take us to Chicago and then onwards to Beijing.

More to follow soon.
