Somebody Pinch Me!

As long as we have waited, it still seems unreal that we are leaving in 2 days!  We got our final bill and trip itinerary yesterday. We will be at Bethel meeting Charlie this Friday, and we will be on The Great Wall of China on the Fourth of July! We adopt Charlie on Monday in Zhengzhou and from that point on, he is with us.  They are going to allow us to visit Kate's orphanage on 7/14, and we are all very excited about that.

We packed our bags this weekend and today has been filled with last minute errands and making sure my checklist is getting checked off.  (I have had so many check-lists this past year...)

Every place we've been the past few days I've thought --or said, "Next time we're here, we'll have Charlie."  Or I've thought, "My two kids are so loud, and there are only two of them. In a week there'll be three!"  I was blown away by the response on Take Them a Meal, and it brings me so much peace to know that we will not only be fed the first few weeks home, but we will be visited as well.  I say it all the time, but we so appreciate your support and love through this journey!
