We have been busy!

My goodness we have been very busy lately. We had two wonderful showers for Samantha, Caitlin's Birthday Bash, Soccer games, and school work galore. I have begun to get up at 4 am to get things accomplished for school. I rather enjoy this time and I hope that my efforts help my sub have a good experience in my classroom. You can actually get quite a lot done between 4 and 6 am. No ringing phones, and one snoring five year old helps my productivity level immensly.

I would like to ask you all to pray for us as our trip to China gets so very close. I am definetly stepping out of my comfort zone for this trip and hoping God's grace is sufficient to get me through as I am sure it will be. We leave Wednesday morning and there are still many things that need to be accomplished. Packing of course being one of them. I am actively trying to remain calm as I don't want to upset Cailtin but the closer we get the more I remember how much I DON'T LIKE TO FLY! Anyway, here are some pictures from the last couple weeks. Our next post will more than likely be from Beijing!!!!! Check out our Blog the morning of the third and I'll try to be sure to post some pictures. Our first day in Beijing will be the Great Wall and we hope to visit New Hope Foundation the night we arrive in Beijing.

Check out our Quilt blog by tomorrow. We have several fabulous new pieces of fabric from family and friends. I am going to try to get them photgraphed and loaded tonight. Thank you all for contributing. There is still lots of time if you are considering doing so. I won't even attempt to make the quilts until well after we are home. I'm thinking Christmas sounds good!
