We've been quite busy with referral celebrations and a baby shower and getting paper work done and the nursery done all in preparation for travel on Dec 5th! Yup, you heard it right, Chris and I will be leaving with 6 other families to travel and get our children in early December. Due to the Christmas Holiday our agency has been scrambling to get things completed so we can travel early. It truly has been a miracle in the making that things are falling into place for us, although truthfully speaking it really has been an insanely crazy busy past week and a half.....certainly well worth the craziness though! I'm giving a shout out to FOI (our agency) for the exceptional work they are doing to facilitate this! THANKS!
We haven't yet received our full itinerary, all we know is the plane tickets are purchased for leaving on Dec 5th and returning home on Dec 20th. We'll post more information as soon as we have it.
Today I'm washing Madi's clothes and somewhat packing her suitcase trying to figure out what I've got left to purchase then heading out later today to do some shopping.
Here are a couple of pics of referral gifts we received from our wonderful friends! You guys are amazing and I don't know what we'd do without you. You've helped us through the many long months on this adoption journey and words can't describe what you mean to me! I can't post any pics yet of my shower because I'm waiting on my sister to send them to me :o) as soon as she does I'll post them. I'll also post pics of Madi's room once it's pulled together more. I've got gift bags all over the place and we are hopefully picking up her crib this weekend.
Take Care,
Tracy
****UPDATE****
As promised here are some pics of the wonderful gifts Madi received at her baby shower last Saturday. Thank you so much to everyone who came! It meant the world to celebrate the day with you! I was overwhelmed with everyone's generosity, you are all so thoughtful and giving - Madi is blessed to have you all in her life!!!!
Preview of the gifts - yes it did take me a long time to open them!
Love,
Tracy
