Packed and Ready

The time has finally arrived and we are packed and ready. After many of months of anticipation we are ready to set out on an adventure of a life time to bring Aaron home.  Although we are so ready, our hearts are very torn having to leave our other 3 here. We would really appreciated your prayers tomorrow as we meet my mom with the kids, for safe travel and a peace that we know can only come from the Prince of Peace.

Below is our itinerary while in China as well as some prayer ideas :)
