Talking My sons favorite color is PINK!!!

OMG!! We have PINK!!! Our appointment is Friday, Jan. 6th!!! I can't believe that 2 weeks from today we will be traveling to bring our baby girl home forever!!!

My boys are so excited to have their sister finally coming home!! This has been a long journey, but one that I am very thankful for traveling! Thank you God for bringing us our little girl over a year ago!!
