We've been told that firewall in China is blocking Blogger right now so we've created a blog that we can update while we are in China. Feel free to bookmark this new site if you'd like to check in on us while we're gone.

Today we sent the applications for our travel visas for China. We still don't know what our travel dates will be but we're trying to get this kind of stuff ready. We've got a large suitcase sitting open in Willem's room and are starting to gather stuff there. Once our travel appointments are made, we might not have a lot before we travel and there will be a LOT of preparation to do at work and at home.
This week all government offices are closed in China for a national holiday so we don't expect to hear anything yet. Hoping we hear something soon!
