To China, To China

Guess where we're going?

In just a few short WEEKS?

We got our Travel Approval last Thursday, and learned that we will be going to get Emerson in "early September"! YAY! And YIKES! We're still waiting to hear what our actual travel dates our, which are dependent on various appointments that we will be attending once we are over there. Our travel dates cannot be set until our appointments are finalized, and our flights cannot be purchased until we know our travel dates. And this mommy is trying not to panic with the realization that these INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS do not get any cheaper the later you buy them!

UPDATE: BREAKING NEWS! We will have Emerson in our arms on September 6! Happy Labor Day to me!

We have about a million little details to finalize between now and then, in addition to having some sort of a "mini-cation" for a couple of days and having some sort of birthday party for Aidan. Traditionally, Aidan's big birthday party is on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend, so it looks like we're going to have to have it well before then.

Lots of prayers for my sanity and for God's provision would be greatly appreciated over this next month or so. :)
