Safe Trip Gilchrist Family

I am anxious to see Audrey Gilchrist and family! They are leaving China in a few hours and will be here on the 31st.
I have their baby car seat and have seen it every day and have wished them all the best of luck on their trip. Our families met in Beijing back in March 2004 when we were there with CHI adopting our first daughters.
They were in our group for the tourist stuff and they are in many of our videos. Little did we know that we'd end up being good friends and living in neighboring sub divisions. They went to Hunan to get Lilli and we went to Jiangxi to get Mei Li.
Our girls play together, and as mommies, we have learned to have 2 of everything if we go somewhere in the mommy wagons with the girls.
I remember the day we were driving somewhere (probably a 2nd hand store) and they were both crying about something and it ended up being that one of them thought the other wanted to pick her nose. I can't remember who said it but we cracked up when we heard "She can not pick my nose, I don't want her to pick my nose!"
Tyla and I did the paperchase for our 2nd daughters together. I could not have done it without her. Well, I'd have done it but it would have been wrong or delayed etc.
Their son Ben is about the same age as my husband's youngest son Anders so when Anders comes to visit, they go tubing on the lake and have a blast.
I can't wait for them to bring their beautiful Audrey home and Mei Li is constantly talking about Lilli.
I remember when we arrived home and all I wanted was pizza and normal food. I think I will get some Diet Coke for Tyla or a Starbucks' double Americano with room fow when she gets back. I am sure Harold does not want any more rice!
Wishing them the fastest and safest return home!
