it's the final countdown

Okay, I will stop with the song titles after this one.  We are leaving tomorrow morning.  I STILL can't believe it.  I'm not sure when any of this will feel real.  We are packed and pretty much ready to go.

I have to say that we have the best family, friends and neighbors.  So many people have stepped in to help us or else offered their help.  We feel truly blessed and are so happy that Mae will become part of such an amazing group of people.

I am starting to get very sad about leaving the boys for so long.  We spent one week away from Andrew when he was about 2 and a few nights here and there, but nothing like this.  Being half a world away will be hard.  It makes me feel so much better to know that they will be in great hands with our family!  I know they will have a great couple of weeks.

All that is really left to do is to go over last minute details and try to get a good night sleep (ha!).  Next time I write it should be from China!

  1. The boys will do great! Consider this a little giet away for you and your husband. You deserve it! Also your new daughter needs time to adjust having a mom and a dad and grieve. She has never had undivided attention before and it is her opportunity to bond with you guys. Congratulations! So excited for your family!
