Back in Texas

The trip was good over all, I suppose. We landed.

More specifically, though, things were rough. We were in transit for about 31 hours of which mom and dad got less than 2 hours sleep. The kids got less than 5 hours. Three people had it coming out either one end or the other. Two people were sick from eating bad seafood in a Beijing restraunt. In the middle of sleep time (when EVERYONE is trying to sleep) Malchi decided to throw the fit of his life--out of control loud and flailing.

People were patient with us, though, and we were thankful for an otherwise good trip. We have some great days aheadof us this summer. We have the privilege of sharing what is happening around theworld with our brothers and sister. We get to see a lot of old freinds and family.

Please give us a call as it will take us a while to contact everyone we'd like to see. Looking forward to see you all. --B&C
