This is\u00a0our luggage.<\/p>\n

(With the exception of Matey, the cat.)<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0Plus a backpack for each of us.<\/p>\n

The biggest\u00a0hockey bag is donations for ND and so will be ejected off our quota once we\u00a0hit Beijing.<\/p>\n

\u00a0And may I just say, it was all\u00a0packed last night<\/em>!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Family and close friends will understand the sheer miracle in those words.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0Travel mates will be in awe of the lack of volume.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s one of those had to be there things.<\/p>\n

(As in, you had to be there while we lugged 32 pieces of luggage through the Beijing airport.)<\/em><\/p>\n

And if this makes it appear as though we have it all together?\u00a0 Have no fear.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The butterflies have multiplied, I started a round of Cold FX this a.m. and Steve is currently trying to figure out how to install a car seat for the first time in a decade.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yeah.\u00a0 We’re calm like that.<\/em><\/p>\n

And so, it is at this particular moment that I would like to remind those of you who pray, to take a moment to check out our Prayer Guide under the Adoption heading on the Home Page.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sing with me now…<\/p>\n

“If ever I needed the Lord before, I sure do need Him now….”<\/em><\/p>\n

(Sung in your best Mahalia Jackson voice.)<\/em><\/p>\n

P.S. Baby Autumn, Auntie would love to take you along on this trip!\u00a0 Unfortunately, I don’t think your new pigtails will allow you to fit into the strict carry-on requirements.\u00a0 Next time?<\/em><\/p>\n

P.S.S.\u00a0 Lane, Martine, Anthony, Max, D, Joel, Ella, Matthew & Justin:\u00a0 We found a friend to join us on our travels.\u00a0 He’s riding in James’ backpack.\u00a0 Keep an eye out for “Spike” in\u00a0our photos.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
