And we're off...almost...

I know, I know, it's been a long time... Last time I posted, our oldeset son was 17 months old.  Well, a bit has changed since then.  Thank goodness, most of you know us and realize the changes and therefore are not going to hold it against us that I am not a blogger.  However, for this part of our lives, we were asked by many of you to "at least post pictures"  of our China adventures. Don't worry...we'll do a little more than that.  Like I said, I am not a "blogger", but this will serve as a great way to remember what on earth we did in China and what our days as a family of five will be like when we get home. 

So enjoy, all three of you who will be reading this. ;)

Here is a snapshot of our travel plans

• Tuesday, May 22 - Drive to Texas to drop off our boys with my parents
• Friday, May 25 - our plane to China leaves out of Atlanta at 12:30am (yes, we're driving 10 hours to Texas and 10 hours back...) 
• But since we have to be to the airport at 9:30pm, I'm considering our departure date to be the 24th...when you've been waiting 18 months for this, what's one more day?  Everything!!!

Although a huge list of prayer requests could be mentioned here, the one that comes to the top is for my mother. She (and my dad) have offered to watch our kids and I could not be more thankful. But when we arrive at her house, she will have just come home from spending three weeks (literally, to the day) with my sweet little sister and her first baby...so night feedings, etc, will be making my mom a little more tired than usual. She would never complain, but I just want to ask that you keep her in your prayers that she would have strength to care for my children, who still do not always sleep through the night. :)
