Guess you can tell we're starting to get into this blogging thing.
No extra charge for this special 3:39 AM edition of "A Fourth Arrow."
I think I sealed my fate around 11:30 PM when I announced to Susanne that I was really tired, and "I'm not gonna have a problem with jet lag." An hour and a half later, I'm awake with a new heat seeking missle codenamed "Joshua Harding" pressed into the small of my back.
Our rooms are across the hallway from each other, so Susanne and I were forced to do our best "Dick Van Dyke show" impression. I forgot my key for the room that Susanne is sleeping in with Kit. I eventually camped outside her room, hoping for some sort of sound that would signal that she wasn't sleeping either. I figured there was no sense in waking another two people up.
I got all excited when I heard that familiar "Microsoft Windows is shutting down" chime, and mustered up the courage to gently knock at the door. No dice. Sweet relief when I heard her shuffling to the bathroom, and I got to stop being that creepy American guy who hangs out in the hallway at 3 AM. You know the type...
Today is a big sight seeing day. We're going to Tiannamen Square, the Forbidden City, and the silk market among other things. Should be good fodder for a million digital pictures. The biggest bummer - no Weifeng yet. A couple of days from now family shots without 4 boys won't be complete.

I am glad to hear that things are going well (minus Zach getting sick out of the van window;))! It's nice to see Susanne smiling after flying for 13 hours. I look forward to more stories and pictures, especially the "complete" ones with Weifeng.
Thank you for your kind words and I continue to prayer for you and your journey. Trisha
Glad to see you are getting settled in there ... It is so neat to see how God works!!! ... I was doing some work on my sofa, took a break to read your blog, on my laptop, while watching the Gospel Video Channel and what song comes on? "You are Not Alone" by Meredith Andrews. In case you have never heard the song, just "listen" to these lyrics:
You're not alone
For I am here
let me wipe away your every fear
My love I've never left your side
I have seen you through the darkest night
and I'm the one who's loved you all your life
All of your life
Is that Awesome or what?!?!?
You are all in our prayers ... GOD Bless you all!

Hey Family! I'm so glad that you made it to China safely... I was praying for you all day Thursday. Mama P told me all about the barfy incident...glad no one was harmed in the making of that story! ;)
ANYway, I just wanted to let you know that you're in my prayers, and I'll be following your blog and keeping in touch through comments. Can't wait to hear about your first meeting with my new nephew!
Oh...no "Baby P" yet...yay!!!! Just keep praying that he/she will hang on until you guys get home!
Love you all...stay safe and have fun!
Tracy :)
