The Countdown begins!

When I woke up this morning, my first thought was in one week we'll have our daughter! It's hard to believe after waiting so long she will finally be with us! Please pray for our family as we head off on this great adventure, for our health and safety. But mostly, pray for Michelle. I can't even imagine how strange this will be for her. I am praying after spending most of her life in an orphanage and foster care, that even at her young age her heart will know she is finally home.

I wanted to share our itinerary with you - we'll write again when we are on our way to China!

12/10- Leave for China

My Jason will be along receiving our Lillian. I pray your travels go smoothly! I will be at home with our two boys cheering you all on. Your Michelle is a beauty in deed. I can't wait until she has loving arms of a family to change that mugshot frown into a beautiful loving smile. Your love will work that miracle in a very few short days.
