Official travel date

We received our official travel dates. We will be leaving on 8/12 and returning on 8/28. We have a straight flight to and from Hong Kong. Our travel time is an answered prayer! We will be back just in time for Daniel to participate in "Locker Night" at school and for the boys to finish up their book reports that are due. We truly are blessed to have so many of you who offer your love and support. Your prayers mean EVERYTHING to us. He's definitely listening. Now... so much to do. We have only 2 weeks to finish up some house projects that we started in the spring, move Nicholas into Daniel's room (while we clean out the cosets... ha, ha this is no small task), paint the baby's room and get all of the furniture set up, clean out the garage so that we can once again get our cars into it... all the while keeping the boys on task with their reading and writing, and keeping them occupied... & working. I think I can... I think I can...

Hello all. We invite you to follow along with us as we take our journey to China to pick up our daughter Lily. We'll be journaling our way through our trip. Our estimated departure date is August 11th with our return expected around the 26th. We'll know exact details next week. We welcome your comments and encouragement. We especially welcome your prayers for the Lord to be in every detail of our trip and the journey that continues after we return.
