Our Journey to Bring Our Son Home . . .


June 22, 2009

Transitioning . . .



Well, we spent our last weekend together as a family of four and look forward to our journey this coming week to bring Brett home. Thank you all for the many gifts, donations for New Day, and prayers!

While I prepare to go through a box of tissue after my parents pick up the girls, I know they are in good hands. Granny, Grandpa, Nana, Papa, and Aunt Jen have all planned great adventures and surprises.
Granny is making the girls a nice calendar filled with activities and giving them a chance to mark the days until our return, Nana has marked out where the new Slip and Slide will go, and Aunt Jen has plans for a Luau. In between, we'll be checking in and Skyping with them from China.

We hope you will all follow our journey. Here is our general schedule:

Jun24th: Leave Orlando
June 25th: Arrive in Beijing
June 26th-27th: Visit New Day and deliver our donations
June 28th: Leave for Henan
June 29th: Family Day
June 30th: Official Adoption Day
July 3rd: Leave for Guangzhou
July 4th-10th: Brett's physical, Consulate appointment, etc.
July 10th: Leave Guangzhou
July 11th: Arrive home in Orlando at 9:05am!!!!

I am really excited to watch your family gain a son over the next few weeks! The kids and I will surely be following, and keeping you in our prayers. If you see Evan, would you give him a big hug for us?!

Sounds like your girls are in good hands! :0)
