Going to China!

Well, we are leaving in one week!  Whew!  We will fly into Beijing Wednesday, meet and have Ben forever on Monday 12/10, and fly home in time for Christmas on 12/22.  Life is nuts as we are rushing to pack, take care of last minute things and prepare our work places for our departures.  Tom will be off work until after the New Year, and I will be off for 12 weeks, so it is crazy at work too!  Two of the staff members left behind at my office are getting "combat pay" while I am gone - they will be so busy taking over my work load.  I am sorry to leave them with the work but of course Ben comes first!!  We are setting up a VPN for China so we can continue blogging- blogger is a blocked site in China!

Yay! Kara, I am so excited for you, Tom, and Ben!! I have tears in my eyes thinking about you finally leaving to get Ben and having him HOME with you in time for Christmas. You will have such a special Christmas!! I will be praying for you as you get through the rush of getting ready and as you travel. I can't wait to hear all of the details and of course see pictures of you with Ben!
