5 days and counting

Well this is it - our last weekend at home before the start of our big adventure. The girls are completely stoked and bouncing off the walls. We currently have High 5 on LOUD and lots of dancing going on. I'm sure the next thing will be the "12 girls band" from Shanghai. If you haven't heard them, they're awesome! I find myself, dare I say, somewhat relaxed although getting more emotional by the minute. I guess it's those pre-adoption hormones kicking in. Beware, Jane will cry at the drop of a hat or at nothing at all!!

We received our airline tickets this week along with other documents from Children's Bridge and now it's just a matter of finishing the packing. Stephanie's bag is packed, Hannah's will be tonight and my stuff is all ready to go in the bag - no last minute, staying up all night packing for me this time! Of course, going to bed on Tuesday night is probably useless as we'd have to get up at 3am anyway. Oh well, we'll be ready to switch our time clocks over very quickly....I hope.

We now have 2 extra friends coming along on our trip - Flat Stanley for Hannah's class and Flat Jessica for Stephanie's daycare class. Thankfully, they are flat and won't take up much room in our luggage;-) Stay tuned for the Flat kids' adventures in China.

It has been a long journey to Quinn but oh so worth it. I can't wait to give our son a hug - or even just a high five. I keep thinking about how our life is about to change, but our little man is facing more changes in the next few weeks than most of us could ever imagine. We look forward to sharing our trip with you.
