Signing Off From California!


pimp myspace profile

We are all packed an ready to go!! The kids are out with my parents seeing Horton Hears A Who and having dinner then they are spending the night at their house. They will pick us up tomorrow morning around 4:30 or so and we head for San Francisco! Our flight leaves at 11:14am and arrives at 2:35pm Sunday in Beijing (which will be about 11:30pm SATURDAY night here). The families that left on Wednesday are just now getting to post on their blogs and I've heard it is kinda tricky trying to figure out the internet thing in China. So we will post as quickly as we can and if we are having problems a friend who went to China to bring home little Noelle in January will post for me until we can figure it out. So if you don't hear anything right away, we're fine, and will post soon! Thank you everyone for all of your prayers up to this point, we couldn't have done it without them! Some prayer requests for the remainder of this journey:
*For a safe trip to Beijing and then over to Guangzhou on Monday morning
*For everyone to stay well and sickness free
*For Kennedi and her adjustment to us and her new surroundings
*For her foster family who must be grieving over her leaving
*For the caretakers at the orphanage who have to say goodbye to her on Monday
*For her birth parents, for the peace that their daughter now has a loving family
*For Katelyn and Bradley's patience with Kennedi
*For all of our paperwork and appointments to go smoothly
*For a safe flight to Hong Kong and a safe uneventful flight to San Francisco
Next time you hear from us, we will be writing from CHINA! We love you all!

HI Tina, Mark, Katilyn, Bradley, and in a few days Kennedi....
Just wanted to say hi, wish you luck and You guys be careful over there! The Govt. issued a travel warning for Americans in China because of those riots or something. Scary!! Anyway I hope all is well and everything goes well. Have a great time and come home safe.
