We're off to China!!

We will be leaving tomorrow morning! The kids are splitting up and staying at our good friends' homes - the Coxes and the Stephensons. They are all packed and will go to their respective homes tonight after service. John and I will finish packing after getting the kids settled in and try our best to get some rest! Steve Cox is driving us to the airport in the morning and our plane takes off out of Minneapolis just after 1pm. Please follow our trip and drop us a comment or an email while we're away. We and the Coxes have downloaded Skype so we can talk via webcam with the kids while we are in China - can't get cheaper than free!

We covet your prayers for safe travels and for Jeremy's transition into his new family! Gotcha Day will be Monday, February 18th - hopefully we will have some great pictures to share on the blog - and good news about Jeremy's acceptance of us.

All praise to God for His guiding hand throughout this entire process! May Jeremy one day come to know the One who created him and destined him to be part of our family.

Blessings!
Mary
