Bags are almost packed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it's almost time. I have all the washing done, the house as clean as it is going to get and Robin has the outside taken care of. I need to get a few more things packed and then I think we are ready, until we get to China and realize I forgot something. I have to admit we are a little more nervous this time on how Addison will take to us. We didn't have any problems with Ali. She came to us and never looked back. With Addison spending 6 years in a orphanage, this could be tough for us all. I know in time she will be happy but, it is going to be so hard for this little girl. I have been trying to learn a few Chinese words so we can communicate. Ali is really going to have her nose chopped off but, she is so excited to go get her sister. I came across this prayer the other day and it really seemed to say just what I needed to hear:

As you go on your way, may God go with you
May He go before you to show you the way;
May He go behind you to encourage you;
Above you to watch over you;
Within you to give you peace.

Hey! I hope you guys had a safe trip. I'm sure the flight with Miss Ali will be something to talk about. :) I really hope things go well in the next few days and I'm sure they will. We'll keep sending a few extra prayers your way. :)
