Last sleep before we get Vivi!

We are heading to bed for one last night without Vivienne. We had probably our
hardest travel day ever today because we had a 2am flight from Singapore to
Kunming with a 6 hour layover in between! It was a little tiring, but we all
slept here and there. We finally made it to Kunming this afternoon. It is a
bustling city with tons of people, cars, and scooters. This city seems a lot
busier than Beijing to us. We found out that it is because they don't have a
subway system in yet. It is being built and it will cut down in a huge way on
traffic.

We saw beautiful mountains on the way in and it is nice and warm here. It was
about 77 today. Kunming is known as the "Spring City" because the flowers never
stop blooming and the trees are always green.

We ventured into a Wal-Mart here in Kunming tonight. It was packed with people
and they had all kinds of interesting cusine, which I will post pictures of
tomorrow!

Thank you for your prayers in advance for tomorrow. Gotcha Day might not be
easy for Vivienne. She will be handed to total strangers and leave everything
that she has known. We are praying that her transition will be as smooth as
possible and that she'll like our crazy family!

We are leaving the hotel at 8am in the morning tomorrow and travelling about a
half an hour to the Civil Affairs Building. We should meet her sometime after
9. This will be Sunday night for all of you at home. Thanks again for all the
love and support!
