We begin!

The last few days have been busy with packing and cleaning! Tomorrow is the day we take the girls up to my sisters house and start the adventure! Hannali has been really anxious about us leaving... we had a special prayer right before bed tonight and we all felt that our Heavenly Father will watch and protect us all, and we will be united once again. As I was singing to Babycakes tonight and watching her fall asleep I remembered the last night it was just Big Sister and I before Babycakes came home. I was excited to bring her home and yet a little sad that things would change... I was felling a bit like that and yet amazed at how God expands your heart and ability to love and nurture another one of his children. I am truly humbled and grateful to be able to add this sweet little girl to our family! We pray many times a day for her, I love to listen to Babycakes pray for her, if we forget she makes us pray again!

We just finished up our last shopping for the orphanage, so we have the bottles over 30 blankets, coloring books for the older kids, vitamins and a few odds and ends that wonderful people have given us for the kids. A bit of cash to buy a few things over there, and hopefully enough cash to pay for the extra luggage we are taking...  I wish that we could do more, we have so much, so many things to be grateful for!  Once again a BIG thank you for all those who have been so generous, we couldn't have done this without you!
