It is 5:33am in Kunming and we are leaving to go get "Finn McMissile" in just over 2 hours. We are both ready and can not wait to meet the little man. We went to bed early last night hoping to get some much needed sleep. I think we turned the lights off about 8:00pm. I was wide awake at 12:49am. I went into the office and read my book. Melissa woke at 1:30am and she has been up since - while I was lucky enough to catch about one more hour of sleep before giving up. We are debating if WalMart is open this early so I think we will give it a shot and walk the half mile to find out.
There are several families in our hotel that are adopting children this week. Our agency has us and two other families so we met with them and went to dinner last night. One of the families Melissa had been comunicating with online so it was almost like we knew them. They are adopting their fourth child. The other family is adopting for the first time as they have several biological children with the youngest being 10 years old. They are the "older" people in our group but are listening to God and starting again with a 15 month old. We have been warning them that you can not stop at one!
Well we are heading to WalMart and will post new photos of Finn as soon as we get back to the room this afternoon.
So excited for you guys! I can't wait to see Owen in your arms! Happy Gotcha Day!

After waiting SO long, it's hard to believe it's really time for you to have Owen in your arms. Jessica & I were just talking about how all of our lives are forever changed by two precious babies born half way around the world. Oh, the works of His mighty hands!!! I can't quit singing this song:
ReplyDeleteName above all names
Worthy of our praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
