We Made It

We are in the States. yea. We love America. At the airport, it smelled so good and all the restrooms had toilets in them. What a great country we have. China was wonderful but there is no place like America.

Unfortunately, we are all sick. I have laryngitis and everyone has some stage of sore throat, congestion etc, though nothing as bad as Alexander had last week. We also all have terrible jet lag. It is 11pm and Rosie just woke up after sleeping all day; she is raring to go and alert and fully active.

We somehow drug ourselves to the passport agency this morning and got Rosie's passport. We only slept 3 hours last night, we are all in a fugue-like state which I hope gets better real quick!

There is some mess up with the paperwork for the German visa which we will have to take care of on Tuesday morning because of the holiday on Monday. We really hope we don't get delayed too much. We want to get home; I miss my dogs, my friends, and my own bed. I really want to get Rosie on a normal schedule; with waking up in the same place everday, eating in the same place everyday etc. She is doing great though, except for the jet lag.

We have great news about the family with the Hep C baby. They took a leap of faith, signed the paperwork and are on their way home to SLC. We are so happy for them; it doesn't mean their baby is out of the woods yet, but they got some good preliminary news and went forward with that. They couldn't really wait for the final results to make their decision because Chinese New Year is starting and everything closes down for a while. We are so happy for them. I really feel like they have been inspired by the Lord and that He has heard the many, many prayers on their behalf. We continue to pray for them and feel so happy that they return home with their family complete.
