Travel Adventure Part One

Our trip to China was scheduled for June 7-24th.  That is a very long time and don't worry I am not going to do a moment by moment journal about this.  However, this is an exciting adventure to share so I will be breaking this up and sharing it over the month of October.

We  prayed as the adoption process was nearing its last couple of months that God would help the timing to work out so that the kids would be done with school and that we would be able to travel and have time at home with Nate for the summer.  We wanted to get to know him in a more relaxed setting without the pressures of school and busy schedules.  God worked out every detail and it was time to book 5 tickets to China and 6 tickets home!!!  What a thrilling time.

The morning of June 7th arrived, the boys room was ready and waiting, bags packed, and everything was in order.  We just had to wait for our ride to the airport and off we went.

       
   Sweet Jack said early on when we talked about adopting Nate, "Well, we have bunk beds!"

At the airport a few minutes after 4:00 am on Wednesday, June 7th!

Made it to San Fransisco!

     Meeting up with Nick and Whitney with The Archibald Project!  They interviewed the
                                    kids and Adam and I as we waited for our flight to Beijing. 
                                                That certainly helped the time pass quicker.

                      Here are a few pictures that The Archibald Project took while we waited.
