To China we go...Finally!

Thanks everyone for all your sweet messages, prayers, and support. We can't believe the day is finally here :) We leave late tonight/early morn and should be in Kunming Saturday night. I'll do my best to post from China, I heard its hit or miss in our province but Guangzhou shouldn't be a problem. Can't wait for you to see our beautiful little daughter.

Dylan is doing well and excited for us to go, he's requested we take pics of every Panda Bear we see :) Between his lemonade stand and our yard sale, we raised $1300 !!!! Troy and I will donate it to Annalee's orphanage. Our goal was only $500 so we were blown away with what we raised in 2 days- God is good and HIS presence was definitely felt through this last minute fundraiser. Thank you so much to everyone who came out for it and all our sweet friends who donated to the sale. Helena Rocks! Having done this before when getting Dyl, we know fully well that what the children need most can't be packed in a suitcase or purchased from a shelf....they need parents. If only I were rich...  :)

Next time you hear from us, 
we'll be saying"Ni Hau y'all!"
