Home

This morning when the alarm went off and we jumped up to get to Guangzhou airport was 29 hours ago.  That is a long day, we left China Friday morning and arrived in Dallas around 9 Friday night but oh my do we feel exhausted.  Poor Emma just cried before takeoff and the ONLY thing that finally helped was Melissa singing Bible songs to her.  The people sitting near us were getting frustrated but after a good 20 minute screamfest Melissa sang her to sleep. 

So, just landed in Dallas and Jeremy is picking us up.  We are going to sleep for a couple days.  Thanks to all who have been praying, commenting and following our journey.  Emma Faith is finally home and we are blessed.

You have a beautiful family!
