Here we go! Set up a blog and we are off! Saturday is coming very quickly. Lots and lots to do before we go.
Today is a packing day. Getting all luggage ready to go! Trying to figure out what we are all going to need and use while we are away.
Lots of different emotions: unsure, excited, anxious, overwhelmed, thankful, amazed...etc. Lots going on!
Becca has been sad the last two times going to school. She has not done that for a while. I think she is feeling that her world is going to change a lot in the coming weeks. She is the one sharing a room and she is getting 'bumped' from the baby spot in our family. Lots for a little one to adjust to and understand.
Huge answer to prayer this morning. =) The director at the orphanage was informed that Donovan is being adopted as well as a little girl. So Donovan will not be travelling with the Government Official alone. He will have a travelling buddy! She is 4 years old. What a relief to know that they will have each other as they leave the orphanage to meet their forever families! Our next little project is to find out if she is among a group staying at the same hotel as us. Would be great to keep that connection and to know someone from the orphange. Also to get infomation to her family! Super exciting!!
Glad this is working and looking forward to keeping in touch this way while we are gone!
Thanks everyone who is reading and following!
