in Beijing

They made it! Dad called a few hours ago from the Beijing airport. All was well, but everyone was tired (he said the word "tired" about six times in our three minute conversation!). They should be tired, it's been over 24 hours since they first set out from RDU. But, they are almost here!

I am making cinnamon rolls (the dough is rising now) and Matt is busy helping me clean house. Company coming is not an every day occurrence around here - we've got to roll out the red carpet (or at least pick the toys up off the carpet, so that no one trips over a misplaced stuffed animal!)

We leave for the airport about 9:30 pm (a friend is coming over to stay with the girls, who are already sound asleep). We'll take the guys straight to their hotel and then Matt will pick them up in the morning to bring them here for breakfast.

I am taking the camera tonight, so I can capture their tired faces on film! I also want to get a photo of all their luggage - between the 6 of them they have 13 bags. At 50 lbs each, that's 650 lbs of luggage! They are bringing in TONS of stuff for folks here in town (including yours truly, who sent her mom on a mammoth Target shopping trip last weekend).
