God Our Father

Before every family meal we pray together. Jon Campbell up until recently has choosen the pray and lead it most meals. He has a little competition now which is very sweet to see. Jin has memorized his first blessing and can say it very clearly all by himself. " God our Father, God our Father, once again, once again, we bow our heads to thank you, bow our heads to thank you Amen, Amen."

Our final travel meeting was Thursday

Thursday afternoon was our last travel meeting via a conference call with Mike Ginter from A Helping Hand. The very exciting news is we will travel with 2 other families from Newark, NJ to China and back; the Kellams, from Indiana, and the Coys, from Ohio. The Kellams and Coys are actually getting children from the same orphanage. During this meeting we ran through a final list of paperwork necessities and reminders. This is the easiest portion of the paperwork journey!
We travel 19 days from today! Many are asking us how we are doing?! The honest answer is we are very excited, stressed out, nervous, anxious, happy, tearful, grateful, and joyful all in one. I never thought that was possible. The journey has a been a long one and the reality of our son has not yet hit me. As an expected mother I cry at the drop of a hat :) I am trying to figure out what my first words should be to Jin. Will he be excited, happy or scared. Can you imagine leaving the only place, bed and nannies you have known since birth to go to your forever family which you can't understand. It will all come together somehow. I want Jin to know he is loved and safe. I can't wait to get my arms around him and bring him home!
