We're Off!


Our bags our packed and we are ready! I'm so ready to go and so not ready to go. I think leaving the kids is going to be the hardest part. They are in the excellent hands of grandma and grandpa Schmidt...we are so grateful that they came to watch the kids. The next post should be from Beijing!


Quick update: we are at the airport and will be boarding soon. The kids did great this morning (I didn't though). Here's a picture of a poster that Pete and the kids put together...it is a huge map of China with each of the major things we are going to do. Clara had already left for school so she wasn't in the picture, but she did help alot with it!
