Thank God we are home!!!

We are home! Praise God we are home!  The trip was totally insane (starting with Luke's name being wrong on his airline ticket and thinking we wouldn't get him out of China (we were told we wouldn't) and then our flight having mechanical problems and being cancelled and it being the Chinese New Year and all flights full. God blessed us and helped us to get home but it was the most insane flights ever and so long we thought we wouldn't make it.  We traveled from Friday morning China time (Thursday night here) until Monday morning China time (Sunday night here) to get home and trust me we are dying. Luke was great but didn't sleep for a second on any of our 3 flights we had home, he did catch an hour during our 6 hour layover in Seattle Washington but that was all. He is still on China time and was awake most of the night last night (until 5am) so we are dying here. He slept from 6pm until midnight then 5am to 7 am and that was all we got. Tom and I both got about an hour last night and about -4 maybe 5 hours of sleep since Friday in China. We promise to write a nice long blog out our journey in detail and our arrival home but we are just about not functioning.  Thank you all for your great thoughts and prayers on our journey and we promise to keep the blog going and keep you all updated as your journey continues!  Will blog more later when I have 1 functioning brain cell!!!

 Tom and Luke trying hard to sleep on the flight to Seattle but it didnt work for more then 5 minutes.. :(

        His sleep in Seattle waiting for our 3rd flight to get us home and a crazy trip home it was

 Meeting his new dog and thinking he is pretty cool after initially being a little afraid but not too bad.
