We went back to China August 15. We left out of Portland and then to Vancouver, Canada, then to Beijing, and finally to Chengdu. It was a long flight and it was amazing that we made all our connections. Our flight was delayed out of Portland so when we got to Canada, the airlines where announcing our name over the airport because we were not there yet and did not have a ticket for Cohen. We made through customs quickly and the people were helpful to make sure we made it on the flight and we did. Then when we got to Beijing, we were delayed because Chris filled out the HINI questionaire saying Cohen had a running nose as well as him, so they detained us. Chris said it was just allergies and that we had no fever, so we had to wait in the sick area and fill out some new forms. Then we got to baggage claim and did not have to wait for our luggage because it was we were so late. While we were there, this GOD SEND chinese man came up to Chris and asked if we needed help. Chris quickly said yes because we only had 45 minutes to carry all our luggage, get it checked in as well as new tickets, and then go back through security and run to the gate. When we got to the air china place, the sweet man told us we proobably had to pay more for our baggage because we now were flying in country. He told us that he would work something out with the guy. He got our luggage checked in and then took us through the first class line so we could make our flight. We made it with no time to loose and paid the sweet 200 RMB for all his help because if it was not for him we would have never made it. God brought us a miracle helper.
We made it home and the girls started school a week later. Avery has a teacher who is from Austrailia and she loves to talk like her. Rylan has a teacher from Puerto Rico and she loves her as well. I think this will be a good year for them both. It is fun because they have all the same friends in their class as last year with some new additions. Here are some pics!! Enjoy!
