7 days

It's hard to believe that in one week we'll be on a plane to China. We are excited. We are busy. We are thankful.

A few quick answers to things that people are asking us:
  • We will get Judd on our third day in China and he will be with us from then on, and yes, we get to bring him back home with us. China only requires one trip.
  • On the side of our blog we have posted a more detailed itinerary for those who are curious. 
  • We will be posting (hopefully) daily from China.
  • The boys will be staying with Chris' parents every night, and playing with some great friends of ours a few times during the day, and they are excited about that. 
  • Most of our big needs are taken care of. We have friends from church housesitting, mowing the yard, etc. We are thankful for our church.We literally couldn't have adopted without our church.
Keep us in your prayers. We have lots to do over the next 7 days.
-Chris

Found you blog from the cleft yahoo group. You must be so thrilled to be traveling so soon! We are waiting for paperwork to be processed so we can get our TA and hopefully travel in September. I was wondering how you will post to blogspot from China. From what I've heard, you cannot access the blog from inside China. Will you be emailing your posts/pictures to someone who will post for you? Would love to know as we face the same problem with our blog. Thanks!

We downloaded a VPN program from ExpressVPN and that is supposed to work. You can read about VPNs online. We'll see if it works. Thanks.

I'll look into the VPN and I'll be reading your blog to see how you fare! Safe travels and enjoy this wonderful time!
