Zai Jian from China! (Goodbye from China!)

Tonight is our last night in China; we leave for the airport at 7:00 a.m.  We will arrive at the Milwaukee airport at 6:50 p.m. and should be home around 8:30 p.m., if all goes as planned.  We spent a portion of the day on the island since we had to return the stroller and then we met up with some of our group for lunch at Lucy's and had a great time!  We got back to the hotel around 1:30 and Jadyn took a nap while the girls played games on the computer.  Jerry and I packed up just about all that we could into the suitcases to be ready to go in the morning.  Then I met Grace to pick up the girl's passports/visas at 5:00 p.m. and we grabbed dinner and tried to relax so the girls could get to bed early. 

It has been a long 3 weeks, but most certainly one trip we would do again in a heartbeat:)  There have been ups and downs which are to be expected when you travel on this journey - however, we have trusted in our faith and the fact that we are meant to be headed down this path.  We know there will be hurdles ahead, and again, that is when we will lean on our faith all the more! 

You cannot really enjoy the rewards in life without struggling a little from time to time:)

We can hardly wait to hug our boys and kiss their cheeks!  We are excited to see them interact with their new family members - I know it will be a wonderful mix of personalities!

Thank you for following along on our journey; I will try to update in the near future after we have time to catch our breath at home.  Take care!
