We're on our way!

Tomorrow we leave for China--it is really surreal! We drove to my parents' house in Louisiana on Monday because Emma, Gabe, and Hayden will be staying with them while we are away. We drove back to St. Louis on Tuesday--it was very hard to leave them and we miss them already. I HATE when our family is not all together. The kids are really doing great though--I am so proud of them. They believe in what we are doing and support it wholeheartedly and are ready to bond with their new sister. Dave and I are spending the day getting packed and ready--my stomach feels a little nervous. I think I'm more afraid to fly than anything. Anyway, we covet everyone's prayers! We have been told we will have internet access in our hotels so we plan to update this along the way, so keep checking! We get to Beijing 3/20--fly to Guangzhou 3/22--get Grace Songshi 3/23!!!
