We are almost there, Evie!

We are coming, sweet girl. We are leaving from our house at 2am early Tuesday morning. We will pick up Nana Jo and Pop and they will say goodbye to us so that we can come get you! We are so excited! We are in a frenzy with packing and cleaning. Love you, sweet girl, Mommy is coming!!!

TA!

Yesterday we got travel approval and today our Consulate appointment was confirmed. From 12:00 - 7pm we worked on plane tickets and train/van transportation. Such a plethora of logistics go into this trip to make sure the travel and appointments go as smoothly as possible, because our world and yours will be turned upside down! We will be super busy trying to appease you; I am sure of it. We are 31 days away from leaving. There is so much to do between now and take-off! With the Christmas season, it's even harder to manage because we are busy with those things. We are trying to get travel plans nailed down, finish my painting orders, get the house organized, finish touching up your room (since pillow cases and art say "Lily") and a million other things. Kids are busy with youth groups and every night we have been playing board games. How can I say "no" to board games with kids? It isn't possible. We love you and we are working very hard to bring you home in God's perfect timing! We will see you January 9th! I'll be the funny-looking woman crying in the hotel lobby as you walk in; I shouldn't be hard to miss!

Love forever,

mommy
