Getting Ready!

Well, as it is ONE WEEK from today that we leave, the preparations for this trip are exhausting. Not only are we getting ready for Levi and for China, but we have two princess' we are leaving behind with our family!!! :-( SO, we have lots to do to get them packed and ready as well.....
Tickets are booked, itineraries for in-country plans are ALL SET! WHEW.... now I can move on peaceably.
If you would pray with us until we get LEVI on MAY 30, that his heart is prepared to leave his foster family and accept us as his forever family!!! We ask that you pray for our girls, Bekah and Leah, that they handle us being gone for 2 weeks!!! Also that our travel is uneventful and safe! I am not looking forward to that part. 20 hours of travel until we finally get to Beijing. Then we leave the next day via train to get to his province of Jinan. Hopefully the train ride will be relaxing. I am looking forward to it!

Today I am taking time to spend with the girls doing all fun things! We have not slowed down much in the past month, so I am looking forward to the beautiful weather, FINALLY, and spending quality time with my babies!!! It is going to be sooooooo hard not having them with us emotionally, but it will be a great opportunity for us to bond with Levi!!

Levi, our hearts grow more excited with each day and we CANNOT WAIT to have you join our family! God has made a perfect plan for us and you are part of that plan. What a blessing! Hang on buddy, we will be there before you know it! ONLY 10 SLEEPS before we meet you!!! Can't believe it is finally this close!!!!
We LOVE YOU ALREADY..... the Lord placed that love in our hearts LONG ago!!!!
Faithfully IN HIM!!!!!
China, here we come!
