It's almost here!

Hey there family and friends! I know that it has been a while since we last posted but these last couple of weeks have been such a whirlwind! We have been busy getting everything ready, and making sure our home is in order. We made a check-list which we worked on everyday. Now our home is clean, and we are completely packed!

This morning we had to make a couple last minute stops to get a few items that were missing (and much needed). We went to Wal-Mart and Walgreens to pick up eye masks, ear plugs, and travel pillows for the plane ride! We also had to pick up a couple electronic games to keep us busy while traveling!

Tonight I will be decorating for Christmas as we may not be back until right before. Ken thinks it is a little weird, however I KNOW we will be exhausted when we get back and the last thing we are going to want to do is decorate!! How fun for our child to walk into a new home with Christmas everywhere!!

We Leave on Monday so hopefully tomorrow will be a restful day. We will blog as much as possible and post pics, so check in from time to time!

ONE DAY LEFT!!!

I came across your blog today and I just wanted to say congratulations on the adoption of your son.

I am a birthmother from Australia and I gave up my son 15.5 years ago and I am lucky to be in an open adoption. God bless you for taking this journey.

One day I hope to had both adopted and bio children to my family.

Remember how you feel today- jot down some of the emotions you are having on the airplane. This is your "labor". And remember for every fear, God gives us a blessing much greater than we could have thought possible.!! Our family is praying for yours---
