We're back
We made it back with no big surprises. Levi and Noah were the only trouble spots. Levi's cast was a big concern; I wasn't sure if the 1950's materials it is made out of would set off the scanner in the US or not. The guy had to test it twice, but in the end it made it through. Noah also must sweat a lot more than we think, because he brought three sticks of deodorant along in his carry-on without telling us. He made it through Pudong, got stopped in Japan and lost one, and then Natalie and Elise took the other ones and put them in clear, plastic bags to come into the States. We know they can be terrors, but not terrorists. I also got yelled at in Detroit for being stupid enough to try and get plastic bins for people to put stuff in to go through the scanners. Apparently even though people have taken all of them from your line, it is not okay to take one from the guy with the authority complex's line. The scanner in our line told me to ignore him, he was just having a bad day. Anyway, we'll be here at the Ramseyer's stocking up on stuff before we go to Mesick to camp for a few days. If you need to get a hold of us , you can reach us there. Otherwise, we will be in church on Sunday and plan on staying for the picnic.

Praise God for safe travel!!! He is SOOO good! Welcome back to the states. One of my friend's children have to go in and out of China a lot. The last time one went, she literally kissed the ground when she got home. She said we don't know how lucky we are!
Have a great time while you are here!

Hi Mark & Natalie - This is Aunt Pat. I have been reading your blog and find it very interesting.
Per a conversation with your mom, Mark, it would be nice if you would update the blog with what you have been doing lately.
We realize you are busy though.
