Some thanks are in order

First thanks to the Sawyers for taking care of a very sick me, and for making it a special time! Second, thanks to John who made continuing this blog from over here possible! He's amazing.

We all had a good night sleep, didn't wake up until 6:30 am. Caroline was acting funny at breakfast and we knew why when she decided to let the contents of her stomach loose right there in the breakfast room. Yup, she's got the bug. She seems to have energy now, but Mark is pretty listless. We met another family getting their girl today too, and she is having some allergic reaction. Man, does the enemy not want us to get our girls or what?

So, rain or shine, throwing up or not, we are going to get Emma at 2pm, 1 am for those of you in the States. She is now sitting on a bus somewhere, on her way to meet us. She has an 8 hour bus ride from the orphanage to here. Can't wait to share pictures after we get her!! It is "Gotcha Day" after all!!

Just 4 hours now! I KNOW the flurry of emotions you are feeling right now...on top of the stomach bug! Ugh, so sorry about that! Praying for you. That you are really able to take in this moment as you experience first hand a picture of our adoption in Christ! Love you guys! Can't wait for pictures!!!
