First Posting

Welcome to our blog! If you are reading this, chances are you know all are part of our story. If not, stay tuned and we'll fill you in.
I set this blog up at the suggestion of a coworker who adopted two girls from China. He strongly encouraged me to do this for a few reasons: a. to document our journey for our family b. to keep our family and friends back home informed as we take our trip to China, and c. as we will be gone for a while (17 days!!!), posts from family and friends at home will keep our family connected and encouraged until our return.

Kristi and I both will be posting, so we will each be sharing our own perspective and trying to capture Thatcher's experience as well--he is very excited. We're not writers, but bear with us and we'll try to make it fun for all.

Our latest news is that today our flights were confirmed and we are leaving Shreveport for Beijing on February 25. Keep us in your prayers and stay tuned.
