We ARE in CHINA!!


Yeah we made it! It has been a long 36 hours from the time we left the Tri-Cities, but we made it! The last leg was probably the hardest, I could not sleep to save myself, maybe 1 1/2 hours off and on. Sam did great and slept through out, mom and dad off and on. Please pray for Mom she was feeling ill on the landing and still looks a bit pale, hopefully she will be back in the swing of things.

The picture is of Sam wide awake at 1:30 am here, eating a snack bar in the White Swan hotel room. But the sweetest thing is the little toddler bed they put up for us. Obviously they did not know that we would not have Olivia yet. But I'm glad they did, how wonderful to think that in less then 48 hours we will have her in our arms!

I'd better get some sleep, if I can :)

Hey Sweetie the laptop is working so great, super fast and no problems! Sam and I miss you and Noah and Grace so much!!!

notes from Sam: Taylor, the plane ride was pretty boring, but I did have fun watching movies and playing games.
Tristan, yes I would like to hear about what is going on with CHECK, and please write back what kind of souvenior you want me to get you, your buddy Sam.

YEAH!! I have been checking all morning if there are any posts - I thought for sure that you must be there and were probably asleep - i guess i was wrong about being asleep:) It's wonderful to know that you are in China safe & sound! Brayden is on his way to pick up Noah right now to come over and play!

We are praying that you are able to adjust to everything quickly - also, it's a good thing that you didn't leave out of Pasco yesterday - flights were delayed 5hrs due to fog! I think it was a God thing for you to fly out of Portland!!!! He's so good:)

We pray for you daily and are so excited to hear all of your news. Keep posting as we check this several times daily. We are also praying for the gotcha moment that Olivia will just know that you are her mommy

Hey-

I finally made it!!! I am so sorry Mom is sick I hope all is better now. We had a great day with Barron on Friday afternoon. He had a lot more energy and the kids loved being with Daddy. They all got settled in to Pam and Pops and I will be checking in again with them tomorrow. I am missing you all so much I am misty even now as sit and type this. I am glad you made it safe and sound. The kids and I will check before church tomorrow. I am sure they will have a message from Sam. I am enjoying a few hours of solitude. Please tell everyone I love them. Mike just set up our computer at home to receive KLOVE and I know they broadcast in Africa so I will ask him how or if you can pick it up on your laptop.

Love ya.
