Wuhan -- Capital of the Hubei Province

We arrived in Wuhan around 2:20pm

It was a 50 minute bus ride to the hotel. It is a very very nice hotel. There is a crib in our room and take home rubber duckies on the tub for Merrilee. And, we have a GREAT view.

We have a group meeting tonight to go over paperwork.

We got more updated information about Merrilee. We learned she likes baths -- two a day. And her foster family included mom, dad, brother and sister. She is still eating six times a day. She loves fruits including watermelon and bananas.

We get her at 10am tomorrow.

Oh Merrilee!

If I have my time zones right, it's 7:30 at night on Sunday. It's only hours until you meet two of the most amazing people - YOUR Mother and Father!! I have been counting down the days and NOW the hours. I sure hope your Mommy and Daddy get a good night's sleep but I'm sure they're too excited. One more time, I'm sending YOU my prayers, love, hugs and kisses...
get ready....
I'm closing my eyes...
saying a prayer...
blowing kisses...
crossing my arms...
throwing you hugs...
DID you get them???

All my love to your NEW family.
Auntie Sharon
