Davis Takes Brooklynn's Picture to School

Braxton Chillin in His Room

Davis At the Beach

They Both Can't Wait To Be Big Brother's To Their New Sister!!!

Today Davis took Brooklynn's picture to school to show his class his new sister. I think he showed the whole school his new sister's picture off. Davis wants me to tell you all that he loves his new sister very much!!! As if you did not know. He has been praying for a sister since he was 3 years old. Braxton will say things here and there about Brooklynn not to be too mushy you know. What do you expect from a 12 year old boy. Really though he is very excited, both of the boys have been caught in Brooklynn's room looking at her toys. The whole house is very excited about our new arrival and we can hardly wait for her to get here.

Geez, how do I get all this stuff to fit in the suitcase. Right now everything is neatly piled up in a corner in our room waiting to be packed into suitcases. I Spoke to our social worker this morning and all of our paper work is in order. We have our plane tickets, passports, money has been wired. All that is left to do is get on that plane(s) and go get our daughter.

Princess Brooklynn's Room

As you can see her room is all ready to go. We are just waiting for her to get here, so she can enjoy all her things. It is hard to belive that we will be leaving in only 12 days. Our long wait has only come down to just only 12 days! So much to do and so little time left to do it. Now comes the task of trying to pack things for 12 days as lightly as possible. They say you only need to pack 2 pair of comfortable shoes, but for those who know me that is really funny. We will see if I make it to China with just 2 pair of shoes. (I seriously doubt it.)LOL

Waiting for Travel

Well it has been a long long wait, but soon we will be flying to China to get our daughter. It is hard for me to comprehend that I will be on a plane in about two weeks to get her. Our journey began March of 2006 as the Lord led us to the decision to adopt a girl from China. We began our paperwork in April of 2006 not knowing what to expect. Well, I will have to say all the paperwork was overwhelming and I cried several times wondering if we would ever get a child. In August 2006 our Adoption Agency matched us with this beautiful little girl. It really has been a long wait, but we have always known that God was in control and in His perfect timing He would bring us our beautiful daughter. Now the time has come to go! We will be leaving for China on August 31st and then coming back with our daughter on September 12th.
Clint and I have two wonderful boys that are 12 and 9. Their names are Braxton and Davis and they are so excited to be big brothers to their new sister.
