My mom has found another woman from our agency who will be traveling at the same time as us.  She would like to leave the same day and will probably be taking the same flight.  They have talked about getting a lady in China named Angela (she is the one who has helped us send care packages to Karli and has gotten in contact with her orphanage for us, to ask them questions), and would like to use her together.  There is another 9-year-old girl who will be going (Kylie is 9, so this is very good, that way she can have someone else to hang out with); a 3-year-old girl (Karli is 3, so that's good as well); and as for the girls getting adopted in our group, there is a 2-year-old, a 3-year-old (Karli), and a five-and-a-half-year-old.  My mom is planning to fly out on a Thursday, and fly from Houston to Newark, then to Beijing...which is the same flight we took to get Kenzie.  She'll arrive in China on a Friday (their time) and then do all of the Beijing touring/sightseeing Saturday, and then fly out towards Wuxi Sunday.  Our agency apparently has a thing where everyone picks up their children on a Monday.  It would be really cool if they could all take the same flight! :D  My mom is trying to convince my dad to go to China for the Got'cha! Day and the the day afterwards, because it makes a lot of the paperwork and so she is working on that.  My mother's packed all of Karli's stuff, and Kylie, who is very excited for this trip, has packed some of hers.  We are working on cleaning the house from (as my mom says) "top-to-bottom," and she also said she expects it to stay this way until she returns (whenever that may be), but I don't think she should hope too high.  I'm more concerned about babysitting and who can watch us when they go, and those kind of things, but it will al be worked out when the time comes.  They want to leave right about as soon as we get TA, which will be not too far off, I'm hoping.   Anyway, that's about it for now...TTYL.
