11.01.06

BIG NEWS.
First, another apology for being slack for two weeks. I actually have been out of commission after tearing my biceps tendon practicing pit stops at Richard Childress Racing for a story on being a pit crew member.
I'm feeling much better, though I am stuck typing with one hand - please excuse the many typos.
Now for the important stuff...
We have known for some time that our travel approval and scheduling was just around the corner. In fact, this is one of several key moments in the process and something anticipated with great joy.
Ironically, after two tough years of waiting, our travel approval came through for November 17th - too soon after my surgery for me to make the trip. Since missing the trip and sending someone with Leigh in my place is totally unacceptible, we had to request a new date. It sucks that after all the delays, I am the cause of another.
BUT...
We now have our dates! We leave Charlotte for Beijing - with a stop in Chicago - on December 1st. We will meet Mary and begin our lives as parents sometime in the first six days. She will become a US citizen at 9:30am on Tuesday December 12th. We will leave from Hong Kong on the 14th and be back in Charlotte by dinnertime on the same day.
