We made it Guangzhou

Sorry to keep you all waiting, I heard that some of you were worried about us being in an accident,but I am happy to say that it wasn't us. We made it to Guangzhou about 2:00 am and tried to go straight to bed. It is almost 10 in the morning now and we have just gotten up. The bus trip was very long, but all in all the babies did great. The plane trip will be a breeze compared to that. We have left the freezing rain and snow behind for pouring down rain and dreariness, but who cares we are still coming home on time! We go this afternoon for our medicals at the hospital and then tomorrow to the US Consulate. I'll try to post some pictures later. We are about to eat something and walk around the hotel some. Thanks for all the prayers, I know that is what got us here finally and safely!

Praise GOD!

Hope you have nothing but great times here on out. As a friend told me, every China trip has a snafu with travels. Let's hope this was IT for your trip.

God really does have a funny sense of humor, doesn't he :>
Just think of this as your "labor pains" and what a great story to tell Zoey later in life.
We will keep ya'll in our prayers. I teach the high school girls in Sunday School and we added your family to our weekly prayer requests.
God bless you all, and FYI, the forcast for Birmingham, Al on Saturday is a balmy 64 degrees and overcast (just a little something to look forward to).

YAY! We are so glad to hear that you are safe and on track for coming home! It feels like it's been months. What a nerve racking day! We kept hearing stories from China about all the travel problems associated with the Chinese New Year and the weather. Hope you get to enjoy this last leg of the trip...looking forward to more pictures...We love you all...lee, tyler, Michela, Emily, and Suzanna

Amanda,
So glad to hear of your safe arrival. Rest up, girl as I know you all are so exhausted. I pray for extra strength and health to finish up this long trip for you and your family. Look forward to seeing more pictures of your girls!

Amanda,
You are so amazing! Put me down as a member of the blubbering "Zoey Fan Club". The past several days of your posts have been unbelievable. If you weren't there to get Zoey your posts would be applicable for a survival reality show! The pictures are so great. Zoey is adorably perfect and is so lucky to have a big sister like Madison. I'm coming to visit with Shelly asap so hurry up and get here! Praying for your safe and 'on-time' return.

I prayed all day - it seems like every minute! I am so thankful for your safe arrival! Maybe you can have a little fun now! As you know, we can't wait for all of you to get back to Springville. Neely is counting down the minutes! Love you all, Hope
