I've followed your blogs for a while now. Seems like forever-ago when you were posting about Grace's nursery, and waiting...and waiting....and....
WOW! Look at you now. Your forever-ago will soon be history! The rest of your forever will be filled with magic, love, worries, owies, hugs, kisses, sleep deprivation, pride, joy, firsts...(lots and lots of firsts that will thrill you, scare you, and make you think she is the best child EVER), wishes, and wonderful times that go by way too fast. Enjoy each day. You are blessed. God's speed!

Have an amazing trip! I know you will!
It will be hot there when you go, so be prepared to maybe want to change clothes a few times a day (that is what I have heard anyways - we were there to get Charlotte in October/November so it was not too hot), but I have been in Hong Kong in early October when the humidity was ridiculous. I still think it is super cool that your baby and my baby share a brithday - one year apart! I am so happy for you. Enjoy every second. I know the anticipation you are feeling - it is such a cool feeling!

She looks absolutely adorable in the pics! I know it's very easy to get stir crazy...but take it all in as much as you can! You'll want to remember every little thing for when you are reflecting back after you've been home for a while. Sometimes everything ends up as a blur, it's nice to have the memories!

What a beautiful family!!! I love the pictures from Gotcha Day. There is no mistaking the look of pure joy on the faces of Mommy and Daddy.
