Flying to Shanghai










Finally we head to phase 2 on this journey.
We fly to Shanghai where we apply for Zians visa and have her medical check done. If all goes smoothly Australia here we come in 7 days.
Today we received her Chinese passport. So at least we can now travel.
I haven't done much shopping but the little i have done to help create memories for Zian of her place of birth and traditional outfits for the years to come and some odds and ends has made us buy another suitcase all of $12au. Which i thought was cheap and unfotunately has added 18-20kg. It all adds up..(I'm sure you can all hear what Dave has had to say about it back home).Not a happy camper.

Zian is doing well, she still wont have a bar of her formula bottle. I'm thinking may have to try milk with flavouring just to get her take it. She does not like Yogurt either.Need to keep the diary up.
Jake i hear you get your first game of footy on Saturday.Good Luck Mate wish we could be there. I also heard Andrew is your coach. That sounds great. Enjoy the experience stay safe and play to make yourself proud!!!!!!
Tayn, sissy cant wait to play with you.You will have to practice being quiet as loud noises startle her..She walks everywhere now and loves having a big bath and playing with her bath toys. I'm sure she will share them with you when we are home.
Mummy and daddy love you both and are counting down the nights until we can kiss and cuddle you in Melbourne.
We went to Starbucks for coffee and hot chocolate with our friends Chuck and Dawn with 3yrs old Gracie tonight to say goodbye. We will keep in contact with them. Didn't get to catch up with Connie,Clayton,Kamry and Kaleleb today as they had paperwork today. Hope to see them in morning before we fly out.
Sorry haven't been on Skype lately just haven't been in room as weather has been beautiful.

Added some pics from today love jo

Hi all, Dave you look like a proper Womble!!! Excellent - About time you let your hair down... Now you just have to have a messy day and you will be nearly normal. Can't wait to see you all again. Can you tell I'm missing having a go at you Dave. Hurry home and stay safe. Love Sue, John, Eli and Dane.

Hi Jodie and hubby,
You look so great! Again little Zion is adorable. I bet you can't wait to get back to your family so everyone can meet. I hope you have a great trip home. Thank you again for being so thoughtful.
