4 days to go

We still have a lot to do. I can't find the video camera I wnt to bring. I am in charge of getting ready for the fair for the Dodge co. Republicans, now I will be gone for most of the prep time.

and now here is melanie

Well, Mark is right... four days and a lot to accomplish. I've got Mark's and Maia's clothes packed. Mine are almost ready to go. Toiletries are in process. Figuring out what food items to take. It does help that we know what to anticipate this time around. But, it's still a little complex since we have to take Maia's needs into consideration. My goal is for one checked bag, two carry-ons, a small backpack for Maia, and the stroller. Hope I can make it work!  Need to get copies of our dossier printed off and a photo album put together for Matthew. But, we're making steady progress. Mark is taking our kitty to Tim's tomorrow so we can cross that off our list.

One really neat thing... there was a family that about a month ahead of us last year when we adopted Maia. Their son John-David was at the same orphanage so we were able to contact them and find out a little of what to expect before we traveled. This family has decided to adopt a little girl that they met while they were adopting J-D. And guess what? Their SDA appt is the day after ours!! So, we will meet up with them in the capital city and be able to share this journey with them. That will be such a blessing!!

We're counting down!!!
