"De plane! De plane!"

The bags are packed, the bills paid and the cat delivered to her temporary home. I think we are ready. Early tomorrow morning we get on the plane for China and our sweet Daniel! I wanted to send one last e-mail to remind you that our primary means of communication while in China will be our blogs. If possible, we will post to them regularly. Check in when you can and check out our progress.

Also check out www.CosetteInChina.blogspot.com. This is Cosette's (7) blog. Your kids might enjoy following along.

If you want to post a comment to our blog you have to sign up with Google first. At the end of a post click on "comments". Scroll down and click on "Sign up here". Follow the instructions to setup a Google account. Its free and easy to use. Basically all they want is a user name and password. After you have this account setup you can post comments.

We will meet Daniel on Sept. 1! That's Monday. Pray for his adjustment, and ours.

Blessings,
Tonya

I hope the no jet lag pills got there in time. We will be checking daily and thinking about you especially on this difficult part of the trip. While you don't want the trivial parts to get in the way, the travel is difficult, especially with a child. Each time you have to take off your shoes and strangers go through your personal belongings, it is difficult. Each long wait is tiresome, but you have your eyes on a goal, Daniel, and will tolerate it all. It is also hard to explain to a child why, why do we need so much security just to get on a plane.

I will pray for your patience, tolerance, and a quick and safe trip.

Tonya - I pray that your trip is wonderful and that Daniel's adjustment (and yours) is not to hard.
