I REALLY HATE THE SNOW RIGHT NOW!!!!

Well, Mother nature decided to put us to her wrath today with a wild snow storm (about 50cm of snow)! We were without power since very early this morning and it finally came back tonight at 6pm. I was able to finish my laundry tonight and finish my packing...sorry Steph, I was hoping to have you double check my packing for me but with the weather as it is I wasn't going to ask you to come out :) I think I did good though. I decided to pack 3 suitcases and we are around 30-35 lbs per suitcase and we are bringing one carry on and our laptop carry on. I just wasn't in the mood to try to squish everything into 2 suitcases.

So....some bad news, our flight got cancelled for tomorrow morning. We are now on standby for the later flights tomorrow to Toronto and unfortunately we won't make it to Toronto in time to catch our flight to Beijing so we are flying to Vancouver and hoping to catch an early flight there. We have seats to fly out of here on Thursday to Vancouver for sure and then standby in Vancouver for Beijing...but have definite tickets to fly out to Beijing on Saturday. This still gives us time as we will arrive Sunday night in Beijing (Beijing time) and then we fly out Monday to Jiangxi to get Madi. So tonight has really been crazy stressful trying to work out all the flight schedules. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers tonight that tomorrow we will get all our flights to Beijing!

We'll post again as soon as we can..hopefully that will be from China!

fingers crossed that you guys can get your flights all sorted out and land in China safely. This storm was indeed a nasty one. Just think, you'll be able to tell Madi all about it when she's older!

We cannot wait to follow your journey!
