Tomorrow we are purchasing tickets!!!!! The agency's travel agent is firming up the flight information for us.
So the countdown is starting...we have 21 days until we leave, 25 days until we meet LuLou (maybe I should start lifting weights, not kidding). Although the past weeks were sure hectic, our suitcases are basically ready. On the 16th, we will be flying into LuLou's province and then meeting her! :) On the 18th, I will be celebrating my birthday...I'm getting a birthday present 2 days earlier this year!
Now that we have extra time, it will be nice to just enjoy our “couple time” and do some fun things before LuLou comes. You guys have all been warning us!!! The thought of picking blueberries early Saturday morning sounds so good...or dinner and a movie.
Our good friends left for China today to adopt their little girl! They said if they could go to the orphanage, they would try to see LuLou. We are wishing them the best and are missing them as the distance increases. It will be nice to hear how they are managing.
Meanwhile, LuLou has had 2 disposible cameras sent to her from us. We can't wait to see what's been really going on there! We sent her a care package a few weeks ago and it got delivered recently. It makes us feel good to know she is enjoying the package now. A doll was included in the package.
As of today, Lu Lou is 9 months old.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie, though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come. It will not tarry.

Your blog has brought tears to my eyes! I love to see how God is doing a good work in and through you in LuLou's life. And while His plan is always well timed we often want the days to go quicker. I marvel at your relience that He will keep the right pace until His appointed time. God bless your growing family!!!!
