Good-Bye to China

I just put Bo down for the night.  It will be her last night of sleep in China, at least for a long time.  I have to tell you that there are some mixed emotions.  China has been a great place and our experience here, while exhausting and frustrating at times, has been fantastic. As I put it more than a week ago, we had the time of our lives. It will be nice to go somewhere and be able to communicate more easily. I definitely have developed a new compassion for those who come to our country and don't know the language. 

In about 35 hours Bo will be a US citizen and in about 40 hours she will meet her brothers and one set of her grandparents.  What a fantastic couple of days we have ahead of us.

I want to thank everyone for the encouraging emails, responses to the blog, and the Google chats.  I don't know how we would have made it without your prayers and communication.  We are very, very happy.  We will see you soon.

To the Lady Cats, compete hard tonight and tomorrow night and two more big wins.  I will be on a plane during your games, but will be praying earnestly and cheering you on.  I will probably say, too many times, "C'mon girls"

To our boys who we have missed a great deal, we'll be home soon. 

Before I shut my computer down for the last time in China (unless I can't sleep tonight) I have one request, please pray us home.
