Bags are packed...

Our bags are packed and kids are taken care of. I think that we are ready to go!

We have so many mixed emotions... excitement, worry, anxious, happy, sad - too many to list... We've ended the day with church and it's just what we needed - it really gave us a sense of peace knowing that everyone is praying for us and God is with us. He has gotten us this far in less than 1 year and He will be with us to the end. We can't wait to meet Maylynn - all day, we'd say "this is the last time we'll be sitting at this table as a family of 5..." this is the last time we'll be at church as a family of five" etc... it's so amazing to imagine our family being 6 people. If you would have asked me 8-10 years ago - i'd say that you're crazy! But, God has put adoption in our hearts and Hayleigh has been such a blessing to our family - we are sure that Maylynn will be too!

That's all for now from the US - not sure when we'll be able to post again - possible the 25th... (which might be your 24th)

Oh - please pray that no one on our plane (specifically anyone in the rows around us) has the swine flu - we do not want to be quarantined! We will be wearing masks! :) The people at the store thought i was nuts buying them - oh well, maybe we are but we don't want to get sick on the way there...
