Next Step... China baby!

After 2 full days of insane rushing around, I am D.O.N.E. packing.  This isn't a throw your clothes in a bag kind of trip, especially for us members of an elite group known as "Over-packers Anonymous".  We are talking clothes, meds (prescription and OTC) for every imaginable illness, toys, snacks, books, laundry soap, rushed visas, paperwork galore and the list goes on...  you'd think I was going camping not to a country that has a Wal-mart 3 blocks from our hotel.  

We have changed our arrangements around a bit so we leave early tomorrow (Saturday) morning instead of today.  Which means we get into Nanjing at 10:00 pm Sunday Night and we meet Ty the next day.  I am praying for smooth and timely flights!   

Check this out....

This just happens to be the back pack of the most excited 8 year old on the planet!  
Our girl, usually so mellow and stoic,, is crazy, over the moon excited to be going on a trip of a lifetime to meet her baby brother and on a mission to consume as many steamed dumplings as possible.  
 Next POST--From China!!!!!!   Please say a prayer for our Sweet boy and for our safe travel. Much love to everyone following along...  Amy

  12. God I pray for your blessings and safety for Amy and her precious family. Please comfort sweet Ty as he makes this transition. I pray that the trip will be smooth and quick. I also pray for her family waiting here. Lord we know you have an awesome plan, and we are all blessed to see a portion of that plan for Ty unfold. Thank you God for blessing us. Amen.
