And we're off!
Okay we don't have an "official" travel invite, but we are hoping it comes while we are flying for a few days. We are leaving tomorrow, stopping by Japan for a bit and then off to Manila. We won't stay in Manila long because we are off to meet our daughter. I can finally feel the excitement of seeing her and finally getting to know her. I can't concentrate on that too much right now though because then I feel tears coming on. Those of you who know me know that I seldom cry and when I do it is usually frustration more than joy. This time it will be tears of joy. Just thinking about it makes me tear up and I have a lot to do. We are going to finish packing tonight and then we are gone for a week or so. Another thing that is making me tear up is that we have to say good bye to the boys. I have never left them for more than 1 night before. I know they are in good hands, but it is going to be so hard to not see them everyday. We can't wait for the day that we have all our 3 children in one place. I'll try to blog as much as I can and I'll be sure to take pictures. See you when we get back!

Woo hoo! I understand your feelings about leaving the boys! Leaving our girls was extremely hard for us too. They had a great time with the grandparents and really didn't seem to miss us except for at night. And nights were the hardest for me too.
Hope your flights go well and we will be looking forward to seeing your pictures of the newest addition to your family.
Won't be long and she will be in your arms. The painful wait will all go away, just wait. It will all soon be forgotten.
I am very happy and excited for all of you. Can't wait to see pics of you & Ryan with Shella May :)
Yahoo!!
Finally! All that wait is behind you! Enjoy every second of your trip and we look forward to reading all about your reunion with your daughter. All the best!
I am so thrilled for you both! I know how you feel about leaving the boys. I am glad you set up the skype with them. I wish you both a swift safe journey. You are in all our thoughts!
