Three More Days!!!

After eleven incredibly long and emotional days of waiting for our Travel Approval, it finally came on Christmas Day! Then last night our director let us know that we would be able to pick up Annie on the 6th of January, and Wyatt on the 11th. This means that Stephen and I will be leaving for China on Saturday!!! Brian will stay home with Jason so that he doesn't miss any school days, and Stephen is homeschooled, so he is going on a very long and exciting field trip!

Our tickets are purchased and most of the packing is done. Kate came through town and helped me to decide what to "unpack" to lighten the load a bit. She will be here to meet her new brother and sister at the airport when we get home on the 23rd. We will need to spend time in each of the kid's provinces, then we fly down to Guangzhou where the US Consulate is. There we have medical and visa appointments so that the children will be allowed into the United States.

Please pray for us as we travel to finally bring home these two amazing children, and also pray for Brian and Jason back at home while we are away!
