April 3, 2007 "But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently."-- Romans 8:25 Patient, hmmm, I'm not so sure I'd call it patient any longer. We are all anxious. The next day or so should be really lonnnnnggg for our family and friends returning from China. They will depart the hotel early (about 6:30 AM China time) and go to the airport to fly to Beijing. They have a layover (about two hours) and then depart Beijing for Newark. If all goes according to plan, they will arrive in Newark about 5:30 PM (USA). I am assuming we will see them following customs and security (how long could that take?). They have sent some last pictures before they leave what they have all called a resort--I am certain in different circumstances that this trip would be restful and quite indulgent. I think all of the families are just ready to be home. We can't wait!! Love, Heather and Emily     Mark, this is for you (flowers AND a waterfall!).               This page hosted by
