Another Issue

Well after Rob's consulate meeting they told us they were 90% sure they could issue the visa for Eden before our flight on the 30th. That was great news. Then this morning we found out our international flight out of Beijing was canceled. Rob read on American Airlines website that we can be reimbursed fully for the flight. So he has been on the phone all morning with a rep for AA from China and now he is on the phone with a rep from America. Hopefully, we will get out of here on the 30th. The next AA flight out of Beijing is on the 5th of May! Rob just came back as I was writing this. As of right now we are flying out of Beijing on the 1st to Shanghai, then Shanghai to Chicago then Chicago to Ft. Wayne on the 2nd. Yes that's right the 2nd! Oh my maybe our China rep can come up with something different!
Even with all this - we are still loving having our girl and so thankful God has blessed us with her. She has been so fun! She gets more and giggly with us as she gets to know us. She has been doing better with diaper changes and doesn't scream as much as when we first got her. So even with all the issues it's been good bonding time for our whole family. Being stuck in a hotel room though is beginning to show on Abraham. He just needs some space and more work to do. Our main source of entertainment for today (besides looking at Eden) has been to watch the Chinese men down in the parking lot try and remove a tree that was previous growing out of the concrete!!

Here are some more pictures of our lovely girl!

Good morning, Oma checking in!!
Well our prayers about the visa were answered, thank you Jesus, so now the order for the day is your flight home. God is so good and faithful, He'll take care of this also.
Eden sounds and looks very happy and I'm glad the bonding process is coming along. You are all such a loving, caring and spiritual family, you deserved to be blessed with Abraham and Eden.
We love you guys so much and looking forward for you to be back home.
LoVe Oma and Opa

Oh my. I just love these pictures of her. She is so cute and I can't wait to meet her.

Even though its a long trip, at least you'll be going home. Praying things will change so it doesn't have to be so long.

Love you Erin, Rob, Bram and Eden.
