3 Days to go!

Hello everyone,

It has been a crazy effort for us to try and pack and repack. It is near impossible to pack two suitcases at 44 pounds each. We can take 2 per person at 77 pounds each internationally. The problem is that once in China we can only have 1 bag per person at 44 pounds. Thus, the problems. It is difficult to pack for 2 weeks, 3 peoples clothes, diapers, enough meds to start a pharmacy, shoes, toys and ... We are going to have to pay some fines because we have gone to the bare minimums and still are over.

THEN, we have the carry on bags. We can only take an 11 pound bag each.

That is our computer, cameras and paperwork for the adoption.

Not a lot of room for books, snacks or neck pillows.

Boo Hoo for us. It will be fine,

I am just being a baby.

Now on to the true issues...


Across the ocean is a beautiful little girl whose life is about to change. She is loved by a beautiful nanny who has been with her since she was 3 months old. They have entered the last couple of days together. Please pray for them as they begin the last time they will ever see each other.

Here are some pictures of them together.
