A bit of a scare

Thank you all for your prayers. We had a little longer wait then what we were expecting, so we didn't get to post last night. Trent's orphanage is quite a ways away from Lanzhou, at least a 6 hour drive. While we were waiting for them to show up, our guide got a cell phone call that they had a flat tire about an hour from Lanzhou. He went out to help them. Turns out it was a little more serious than just a flat. A tire blew and the van flipped. There were a couple people hurt but not seriously. Trent was just fine, just a little bit shaken. The orphanage director was holding him and kept him safe during the accident. Again, thank you for your prayers.

We finely got Trent at about 8pm on Sunday, Aug. 24, 2008. Here he is coming in to our hotel room with one of the orphanage helpers.

Like all gotcha's, Trent wasn't very happy with his new mother at first.

Dad didn't do any better.

Trent did calm down later. He slept very well that night and seems no worse for wear after all the excitement. We are very, very grateful he is with us now.
