GOOD-BYE CHINA.....

I say that with very mixed emotions. As I've said many times in the last 16 days, this trip has been amazing. We couldn't be more humbled by or grateful for the blessings we've received. Good health, safety and a smooth transition for all of us -- we couldn't ask for more! Again, we have felt all of your prayers from half a world away, so thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts. This has been the trip of a lifetime for our family. We are forever touched by everything we've experienced during our time here.

Today we went to the zoo, so I will attach a few pics from that. We are 0 for 2 on the panda. Last time, he was in because it was so hot and this time, they have moved him/her to the Sichuan province to try to have a baby panda. We were super bummed but still enjoyed all of the other animals. It was 95 degrees and humid, just like last time, too.

Tomorrow morning, we start our very long journey home and we are looking forward to settling in with our two girls and having an awesome summer as a complete family of 4..................finally!!

God bless and thank you for sharing this journey with us.
