It figures - we'll be on a road trip vacation at the same time you're in China! We are bringing along a laptop, so depending on the connection capability wherever we are, we hope to be able to see your pictures and read your blog. All our love goes with you both. Safe journey and many beautiful, happy moments.
Love, Wendi, Bill, Roger & Austin

Hi Brian & Sue,

Just heard that you are traveling on Tuesday, to meet and bring home (finally) your new son, Michael.
There are many of us that have prayed for this day for you. Enjoy your travels, and I can't wait to see pictures of the first meeting. I am so excited for you.
Love and Happiness,

Cathy Sarno
