Last Meeting!

Today we travel to Halifax for our last meeting before we go to China next week! It's next week, we can hardly believe it! We'll find out all the details of our trip and get our plane tickets today and any last minute questions we might have. It'll be so nice to see the other families who are travelling with us again. We haven't seen them in almost a year! We've started packing things just to get an idea of the weight...we are only allowed two suitcases and they must not weigh more than 44lbs. The restrictions are for the flights within China so we even though we are allowed more with Air Canada, we have to pack as though we are only flying within China. On the way back we'll have an extra bag and luckily we can buy alot of things there, like diapers and formula and that stuff so we don't have to pack two weeks worth!
So one whole suitcase is Aislin's stuff which as of right now weighs 37lbs, and we still have our things to pack! And remember it's two different seasons we have to pack for, Beijing is cold like Nova Scotia and Guangzhou is about 15-20 degrees. But this part has been so much fun, getting everything together.
Anyway, off we go...I'll update this post later if anything comes up at the meeting!

Update: We found out that when Aislin's most recent picture was taken she had just had a bath and was getting ready for her nap....
