Fabulous photos!! It looks a little strange to see photos of the Summer Palace with snow! It does add a nice touch to the photos, although I'm sure you guys are freezing!
China time is 1am on Monday, so you'll be on a flight later today to Ava's province. How exciting!!

That weather looks miserable... but I'm sure that NOTHING can damper your spirits now when you're so close to Ava! Can't wait to watch your journey to her since your blog was one of the first I found when I started my own journey a year ago. So excited for you!
Happy Birthday to your Dad!
Happy Birthday Mr. Gurrieri! What a wonderful way to celebrate -- picking up your new grand-daughter in China!
