Last Minute Packing

This is Natalie as she puts the finishing
touches on our packing - not an easy chore
being away for 16 days.
Feb 2
Marisa Mei-Lian Freeman
The Taxi Man

Also known as Uncle Mark.  He arrived
before dawn to pick us up and get us to the
airport in time for our flights.
Ready to fly

Standing just outside KCI and ready to fly.  
None of us were really prepared for  what
was ahead - but we were all just
open-minded enough to take whatever God
had planned.  (Notice Nathaniel's
goosebumps.)
Today's video

Just a dump of the pictures we took today on
our flight to Beijing.  Enjoy - not many
pictures today - for sure we will have more
later.
Just a quick note to let you all know that we made it to Beijing.  The trip was extremely long but uneventful.  Thank you everyone
who is praying for us!  

We want to give a huge 'Thank You' to everyone who has helped us get this far on our journey - from those of you who wrote
recommendation letters for us nearly two years ago to those who aided us in the last few weeks of preparation by inviting the kids to
play probably one more time than you really wanted to so we could pack, helping us get the proper medicines in case we get sick,
helping us put together clothes for Marisa, loaning us items to take on our trip, offering to help Grandma and Grandpa Freeman
while we are away...we could go on and on.  It means the world to us and we couldn't have done it without you guys!

We will have more interesting things to share in the next few days, so stay tuned!
