On their way to new adventure in China

My son and his family are now at the Houston airport this morning (it is 5 am CDT on Feb. 9) awaiting their flight to Beijing. I spoke to Suzanne a short time ago and she said she was still anxious about her first airplane ride. They were at the airport waiting at the gate to be checked in and I could hear little Destiny in the background talking up a storm and chewing on her fingers. They will leave Houston at 6 am (in about an hour) and have a two hour flight to Newark, NJ, and have about a 2 hr. layover before going on to Beijing. Spot will join them in NJ for the long flight today. This picture was taken just before they left my house in Arkansas.

Grandchildren moving to China Feb. 8th

My son and his wife are moving to China to teach English in a school there and the two granddaughters are going with them, along with granddog Spot. It is Friday night Feb. 5th as I write this and they are staying with us over the weekend until they drive to Houston in a rental car and drop Spot at the airport on Feb. 8th. They are supposed to leave the next day on a flight going to Newark, NJ, and then on a non-stop flight from there to Beijing. I pray the big snow storm on the east coast does not delay their flight out. They will be in Beijing a week while Spot is in quarrantine, then take a train or bus to the town north of Beijing where they will live. The school has arranged an apartment for them, furnished even with a baby bed for DJ.

I will keep posting updates on their trip as I receive email or phone calls on skype from them.
