Finally Home
Before we left China, Kevin gave Elvin a shirt from his company. Elvin loved it and you can see the friendship in the picture. We have great memories of our time with him!
The trip back was a nightmare! Planes, turning around, going through immigration in Japan, being placed on separate planes for the new trip (Kevin "fixed" that quickly), no internet access in the meantime, waiting, more waiting, finally getting to Minneapolis! I have no pictures to post of the 24 hour Japan period... but here is Mia waving as a US citizen when we FINALLY landed in the states! Don't you love the picture of her falling asleep as she rode on Kevin's shoulders through the airport? Now that is exhaustion.
When we finally drove up to our house with all of our children in the car, we were greeted with chalk art from kids in the neighborhood! What a welcome!!

What We Know
Posted by Lorraine... for those of you pushing "refresh" to look for news! I think you can sleep in peace:)
The Kings left Japan at 4:30 this morning and arrived at 1:35 p.m. in Minneapolis. They had a 6 hour wait until they could board the plane for Asheville. The plane landed at the Asheville airport a few minutes ago! I'm sure they will fill us in on the 48 hour trip home as soon as they get over it! Don't hold your breath for the next "tell-all" blog entry! They will be hugging the girls for a long while!

Pit Stop... Japan
Well - we wish we were writing you from Minneapolis where we dreaded the 7 hour layover... We are still in Asia, but we have made it as far as Tokyo, Japan! The plane took off toward Minnesota, flew for 1 1/2 hours, dumped fuel for an hour (heard you needed that in Western NC), then flew 1 1/2 hours back to Japan. We had to actually go through immigration, gather all of our luggage again, and check into a hotel. We are hoping for a flight out Saturday.
Words cannot describe our disappointment and our desire to be home with our girls! Please pray for us!
