We are finally on our way!

Well, the big day has FINALLY arrived - we leave tomorrow afternoon to get our sweet Mason! The bags are packed, I found the temporarily misplaced passports (in the safe), and Missy and Matt are on their way home to keep Molly and Madelyn. This is the longest we have ever left the girls, and I know that 15 days may seem like an eternity to them. Thanks to precious, praying friends who have been so encouraging this week, I think I can get on the airplane without a major meltdown. Please continue to pray for Mason, his foster family, and our family here at home. Thank you again, sweet friends, for all of the offers to help with the girls and with meals while we are gone. We even have a friend who is keeping our grumpy dog while we are in China! It may be hard to post anything tomorrow because we will be on planes or in airports for about 30 hours. Not our favorite part of the trip! The good news is that we will have a little bag of peanuts for each of you when we get home.
