We made it!

Thank you for your support and prayers! Craig could not have done better on his first plane flight. We left the Taiyuan hotel at 9:15 this morning and arrived at our Guangzhou hotel just before 5. He was able to nap in Leya's arms on both buses, and managed the flight with bravado. I think our anxiety about the 22 hours of travel next Friday has lessened a bit after the successes today. All the children in our group did so well. Answered prayers.

Tomorrow he has a medical appointment in the morning and Leya has paperwork in the afternoon. Each step means we're closer to taking him home. Can't wait for you all to meet this special boy.

Craig is teething, so we'd appreciate prayers for a quick break-through. It's clearly hurting him but he tries hard to be tough. Just a few minutes ago he was laughing and fussing at the same time. It's harder for him to enjoy life when he is hurting. Leya put in Orajel when she noticed Isla, who is about Craig's age, teething. Yet another thing we are thankful for. jo
