All set to go !


Hayden and Keaton got to take off of school and spend the day with me.(Everyone is healthy!) I have packed, repacked, stocked up on the essentials, major nesting happening here. We are going to video tape the house tonight so that Eli can see what he is coming home to- a friend did this when she adopted her son and it was a hit. Madeline and I will be leaving at 3am. I am so excited to go back to China. It is an amazing country with wonderful people. I keep praying that Eli is excited and transitions well. I feel more prepared in some ways this time, but that "older child" element is what worries me this time. This is the last night we are going to spend as a family of 7.
