Hello everyone. After arriving in Uganda, we found that this Weebly Blog site does not work here. So, we have created another blog that is allowed in Uganda to keep everyone up to date. The new Joshua Blog is at www.journeytojoshua2.blogspot.com. Please change your favorites to this site. Thanks for your prayers.
So we got out of Medford just fine, checked 18 bags of luggage, and were on our way to Seattle...when the flight attendant says "Seattle is covered in fog, we are going to ground you in Yakima, until it clears" It is now 9:30 and our connecting flight to Amsterdam is at 1:00. We are ignoring the claims that it is getting worse in Seattle. We still have time... right?
 Tonight was filled with one BIG Koehler "first"! The first time my children have ever had Mountain Dew! (I know you are thinking, "now she's really lost it!") But the plan was to keep them up as late as possible and get them SO tired that they will sleep on the second leg of the flight from Seattle to Amsterdam because although it will be noon on our clock it will be ten p.m. in Uganda! We are trying this crazy experiment to see if we can adjust their clocks ahead of time so they are not wide awake in the middle of the night when we arrive in Uganda on Friday night. So how did the Koehler kids do? Well, 3/4 of them made it to half past midnight! As you can see Simon gave it a valiant effort, but petered out at about 11:45 (right on top of my last minute project.) It is 2am now and we will be up at 4:15 a.m. and off to the airport! It is here, Its really really here! How could I possibly sleep at a time like this? We'll let you know where we are when we can! :) This is your new blog post.

 This is a picture of our dear friends from Watoto (www.watoto.com). When they came through town on their tour last spring, we were fortunate enough to house a few of them for several days. We are looking forward to spending time with them at their home and introducing them to the newest member of our family. These beautiful girls happened to be here when Holt first told us that Joshua was ours! They shared our joy a year and a half ago, and we want to share the joy of his long anticipated adoption into our family. We are all so excited to be reunited with these amazing friends!
