TA is here!
I know I am probably going to be kicked out of blogville and all my peeps have given up on me ever updated this blog. I am sorry gang. Life is crazy around here and I swear I haven't had a free moment to do anything. I know, that is no excuse. It is lame, so I will just leave it as an apology.
The big news is our TA arrived earlier than expected. Who knew any news from China came in a speedy manner? Wow! We should find out next week when we will be traveling.
On to the next part of the puzzle here. I am in a strange mood, almost zen like state. I am not freaking out...well not yet at least. I am so calm and at peace right now. This little girl's face has just instantly placed a calmness within her mother's heart. One of my friends is totally freaked out that I am not completely packed yet and that I don't have my luggage by the door. I guess in comparison, China adoption is a different experience for me. I waited 16 months, all in all, to adopt my sons. I was a totally lunatic! I was given 4 days notice to travel, not weeks. Yep, you read that correctly, exactly 4 days! I know when we start making travel plans I will freak out more, but for now, this mom is just so calm.
The boys are getting very excited, although, they think it is much more of the same.....the waiting game. They buy stuff for their little sister all the time. They want to move their beds into her room to keep her company at night. They want to be there for her if she is afraid at night. They are so excited to actually see what adoption is really like through their own eyes. They want to witness what we went through to bring them home. Of course I had to explain to them that mom and dad didn't get to stay in nice hotels during our stay in Ukraine. They do love the pictures of the Sheraton Hotel in Warsaw, Poland where we had to go in order to obtain their Visas. I love watching this adoption through their eyes, it definitely mirrors my own feelings.
I hope for travel news soon! I cannot believe we are almost at the end of one journey to begin a new one with our precious peanut.
