We go to bed tonight, wake up early and head straight to the airport. We are excited! We have a lay over in Beijing and then take an eleven hour flight straight to Seattle. I hope O sleeps. I think he will on that long flight. Either way he seems to like movies... that should keep him happy.
The last couple days have been good. They are good days with some tough moments here and there.
Yesterday we completed the last of the paperwork. Hallelujah! We took oath at the US consulate and finished up the US portion of things. We then went to visit the botanical gardens. We choose this over the zoo ( : The park was cool but really weird. There were these circus like decorations everywhere. I think they were finishing up a festival of some sorts.
Daddy took O to get his hair cut. He looks very handsome.
Today we went to Shaiman Island to do some shopping. It was really pretty and just fun to hang with friends outside.
We ended our evening at a delicious restaurant with two other couples we have met here. Best food we have yet on this trip. Of course we find it on our final night. I will miss these families. It has been so nice to have people here who know exactly what you are going through and how you are feeling. I am grateful. Here are their kids. Cuties!
We are excited to be home and start life as a family of five.
Please pray for our flight. Pray we can get back on a good sleep schedule quickly. Please pray for our girls to accept O and love him as much as we do. Pray that O transitions well. Three orphanages, two hotel rooms, and now a new house has to be very confusing. Please pray he understands this is his forever family and be happy and comfortable in his new home. Pray for Tyler and I to have patience and understanding for all the kids.
I plan to continue blogging to share updates on the family. Feel free to check in. It may be a very important outlet for me in the next couple months.
Hope to see you all soon.
