I am in shock.

I am in denial.

I am in awe.

We have the best family and friends.  Bar none.  We could not have done this without them.

Ty's "room" rocks.

I was pretty mad at God tonight when my girls were sobbing and clinging to us, wishing we didn't have to go.

Why us?

We have a rear-facing car seat in our van again.  It's been a long time.

I'm going to need a new blog header and name.

God wants to give us the desires of our heart.  I REALLY desire business class for our long flights.

I feel guilty that so many people have worked to bring him home, but he gets to be with us every day.

Having a baby around is going to make things much more difficult.

I can't wait to try my Ergo.

I can't wait to pick out a stroller.

I CANNOT WAIT to see my daughters light up when they see their brother.

I CANNOT WAIT to see my girls again.

I CANNOT WAIT to be a family of six.

I CANNOT WAIT to say, "Yes, he is my son."

I can't wait to take him out the day after we get home to buy a new washer/dryer set.

I love my husband. 

I love how God softened my husband's heart and made us equally yolked in this adventure.

God rocks.

Let's get this show on the road!
