And they're off!!!

This is Tricia, Shelley's sister, with an update! After several delays, Shelley and Emily are China bound!! They left Washington, DC this am around 800am and had a great flight to Chicago. Emily did fantastic...absolutely no problems with her ear! Praise the Lord! :) We talked with them from their plane in Chicago and they took off around 12:40. They are scheduled to arrive in Shanghai on Friday at 200am(eastern time). They will have a 7 hour layover there and will eventually get to their hotel in Guangzhou at 11am (eastern time).. 11pm China time! After a good nights sleep (hopefully : ) ), they will leave Saturday afternoon for Xian. Whew!! I'm sure Shelley will give an update when they arrive. They will meet Avery on Sunday afternoon at 330pm..(330 am eastern time)!!!! Thank you for all of your prayers for Shelley, Emily, and Avery!! We can hardly wait to meet Avery!! :)))
