Never go on trips with anyone you do not love...Ernest Hemingway

This might be the last blog entry if I have any issues with internet challenges while we're in China. Hope you've enjoyed reading about us getting ready. :) So... twelve hours from now we'll be heading to the airport. We're all a bit unnerved and have different ways of working this out. Yesterday Reuben was trying to convince me to cancel his trip. He said he never really wanted to go and that he really only wanted to see Boaz. Since Bo's coming home anyway, why are we actually going to China?

Our last family picture taken the day Bo was leaving for China in August 2013. 

Sheesh, think of how much fabric I could've purchased with the money we'd saved if he stayed home. Tom has packed his biggest suitcase with 23 pairs of socks and probably just as many underwear so that he doesn't have to do any laundry...He's also taking some kinds of costumes to attract a lot of attention while we're in China. I'm kind of paralyzed...so much to do and I'm laying here on the couch not doing it. Bo is probably the most excited of all four of us. He's got train tickets and hotels booked for us already. It's going to be fun having the four of us together though and I do love those guys.
