O. K., so this time warp thing is killing me (us) right now. Victoria and I woke up @ 2:00 a.m. and just couldn't go back to sleep. While lying there, I realized my mental clock was fast forwarded last night when I stated we would pick up Xiao Qian at 1:00 p.m. (PST) for you. It's actually 6:00 p.m. for you. So, if you think of it, that's when we (& Xiao Qian) need your prayers most. We simply cannot thank you enough.
We just G-Chatted with Annie, so that was nice to connect with her. I tried using my Voice-Over-Internet to talk to her, but it only worked one way from Annie, so it was a bit frustrating. I did finally get it to work, but alas only after Annie had to run off to work.
The room accommodations here are just perfect, meticulously planned by the Lord. We have an adjoining suite (albeit small) that has it's own bathroom. We'll bring a roll-away into the suite tonight and that way Xiao Qian can have just a little bit of privacy, something I'm sure she'll want and need. We're very grateful this worked out so well.
I now know that my post from last night went through (wasn't really sure since we can't see it), so it looks like this e-mail posting is working for now. I am going to ask my son, Austin, to release my Comment Preview requirement so that if you want to post comments they'll automatically go through. Up until then, I had set it up so that I previewed all comments before they were posted, but I cannot post a comment to Blogger from China. (Too much information for you, I'm sure, not to mention boring. Listen, it's 5:00 a.m. here. What do you expect from me?) By the way, we do see your comments through e-mail here in China, so please keep them coming. They're a huge source of encouragement to us.
O. K., I'm going to sign off, try to sleep a few more winks, and then we'll get this show on the road.
We love you and miss you,
Cool Christmas Gift...

I just love your posts!! Such talented writers. I simply can't wait until you get your sweet girl...can't wait!
It's 5:30PM in Cali. . .just wanted to let you know that I'm praying, especially this next hour of last minute preparation and then finally getting to meet your newest daughter. Praying for peace on both ends!
We are with you in spirit and enjoying every word you type! We are praying that Xiao Qian's heart is full of peace and her fear will be removed at your meeting. We have know that she will fall in love with you both in a very short period of time.
Looking forward to hearing the next update.

Love you guys!! Welcome Xiao Qian!! Just prayed for your first meeting and excited to hear how our gracious Lord answered this prayer!
We'll be in touch more over the next couple of days.
God Bless the 3 of you richly!

Just read this update - so I guess you met her about 1 hour ago! I can't wait to check the blog first thing tomorrow to read how everything went.
I have been praying and distinctly remembered you during the members meeting tonight. . . perhaps at the very moments of seeing Xiao Qian! Enjoying your posts very much!

Praying to our Sovereign Savior for all of these details. Thank you for keeping us posted. God is before you! At church I saw Austin and Megan with the girls and everyone looked happy and content.
We are so excited to meet Xiao Qian! We will continue to bring forth prayers of sweet comfort, joy and love to the Lord as Xiao Qian transitions toward becoming a Kruggel!!!
