Ron is getting all his copies and his paperwork in order. There is so much of it! We have to carry around $6000 cash with us to China because we can't use money orders and we have a lot of fees to pay while we are there. Not only does it have to be cash but it has to be new, crisp bills or China will not accept them. We have spent a couple of weeks going from bank to bank examining their bills and picking out the best ones. People have been surprisingly gracious about us showing up asking to see what is in their money drawer. :) We have about 90% of what we need. Tomorrow will be our last-ditch effort to get the remainder. It feels ridiculous to be carrying around this much cash with us! 
This is Nathan's suitcase. He is about one tenth our size but he needs his own suitcase and Ron and I are sharing. I'm still not sure we are bringing enough stuff for him. I still have to fit the snacks in here! We have one day left to get everything in order! Ron didn't think I was listening to him and he informed me he would pack his gun in his carryon. That makes for an interesting mental picture of us at the airport, doesn't it?

I simply can't believe this is finally here. I have seen you guys go through so much and being so tested. I know there are hurdles to overcome in this last phase, but what joyous hurdles now.
I can hardly wait until you blog and let us see pictures. So awesome of your mom to loan her laptop. I'm sure there were 'no unlterior motives'. Grandma is probably ready to welcome him and love him too.
Hugs and Kisses and prayers,
dawna
