We finally got the call this week....we are heading to China a week from tomorrow! We can hardly believe it is finally happening! I am now realizing that packing for Shaun and I to travel is one thing...but the baby stuff is a tad confusing for those of us rookies! So many people have given great advice so I think we are doing pretty well...The house looks like three bombs went off in it (which I'm told is how it will look all of the time when the children come...so we'll get used to it!)
We found out that once our 24 hour travel marathon is over, our little girl will be waiting to meet us at the hotel...my heart races a bit just imagining that moment...The China Director at our agency says just jump in and start swimming...I guess that's what we are about to do and we can't stop smiling.
Shaun and I celebrate our 11th anniversary this weekend, and though it seems like small potatoes compared to the other happenings in our lives, we are going to pause and go to our last dinner and a movie without getting a babysitter...We are taking movie suggestions...please give a star rating...or bag of popcorn rating...love all you guys.

Happy anniversary! You're almost on your way, I'm so excited! I hope you're planning on posting some entries while you're over there. I know I for one will be hitting the refresh key every fifteen minutes until I see a picture of you guys with your beautiful daughter in your arms.
YESSS!! Happy Anniversay!! We think you should have Chinese for dinner and then go see Charlotte's Web.... get used to those kiddie movies!! Haven't seen it, but it got great reviews.
May the Lord bless you all and keep you safe/healthy during your travels. Love you lots!
Grammy and Grand-dad are unable to be still! You cannot imagine how happy we are for 2 people who have so lovingly waited together with so much planning and attention to the addition to their lives!! I thank God for bringing them to this place and know that they will be so ever thankful to our awesome God for such a gift as this.Elie is a fortunate orphan child who will someday look back and be as thankful as we for this moment in time. Love Grammy and Grand-dad
FABULOUS LIFE IS ABOUT TO CHANGE. WE ARE THINKING ABOUT RUNNING DOWN THE STREET TO GIVE YOU GUYS HUGS!!!!!! GOD BLESS
Happy Anniversary and once again thanks for watching Daisy this weekend. We are so excited that this moment has arrived, it's been a very long journey. We are looking forward to welcoming Ellie into our family with loving arms and hearts. We are counting on being called on to babysit Ellie. We are praying for your safety and health as you travel to bring Ellie home. We love you lots!
Hi Mr. Holmes and Mrs. Holmes
Happy Anniversary!! It would be a good idea to eat Chinease food since Ellie is from China. Then you guys can experience what kind of food the people in China eat. I hope you guys have a great day.
