Countdown Begins!!
10 more sleeps until we are on that plane to China. On October 16th our flight leaves Boston at 8:31 Am and lands at Dulles at 10:12 AM. We leave for China at 12:12 and land in Beijing on Friday afternoon at 1:55 (1:55 Friday AM our time). For some reason being only 10 days away has changed things for me and I am finally realizing this is going to happen. I have a lot done but still a lot more to do! I really want to be done with everything by this weekend we can enjoy our last weekend as a family of 4. We have some special things planned for the boys and I just want to have a fun stress free weekend. I can't help but think that in 2 weeks our baby girl will be placed in our arms forever. I feel sad that Lily has no idea her life is about to change, everything she knows will be different. There is no way to prepare a 8 month old for what is about to happen and I only pray that somehow when she is held by her mommy and daddy she feels the love that we have for her!
