Our Travel is Final

Well it is official. Our flights are booked. We are leaving out bright and early June 23 at 6:00am. We will arrive in Beijing China on June 24 at 2:20pm. Kelly and Fred will be on the long leg of the flight with us. We will fly home on July 10th and get home very late 11:14pm. The boys and PawPaw are so excited about meeting us there. Grace will meet her other brother Christian in Cooperstown on Sunday (which is where we will be heading after we fly and change out our suitcases - driving through the night). It will be a long couple days but all worth it! We are so very excited!!!!!!!!!!

So as you can imagine we have been workign on logistics, logistics, logistics. It is amazing how many things you have to get in order before we leave plus to ensure that 3 boys are taken care of with their busy calendars while we are gone. Logan and Christian will be in baseball and basketball camps some so that will help. Jonathon will be on his first mission trip so that will be great too. Just a long time away from my boys. We plan to SKYPE while we are gone though, we are all excited about that.

I am thrilled that we will be traveling with Kelly and Fred and get to bring our girls home together. After such a long wait it is hard to believe this is about to happen! I real dream coming to fruition. Heaven is about to invade earth folks!

I am also very excited about some others that are in our travel group. I have been talking with 3 other mom's whose children are with Grace at the same foster care. One mom got home a week or so ago with her son. The other two mom's and I get to travel together to get our girls. These girls have grown up together and now get to take this journey together too. Us moms have connected to through email during the wait and are so excited about actually meeting each other. You can see their picture attached.

Well more to come later we get our final travel packet and have our travel conference call with our group tomorrow at 3:30pm
