Heart Alora will be coming HOME!!!!!

I am very happy to say that we are leaving to pick up Alora on monday. Our origional embassy appt. was for Friday...we can't get there by tomorrow, but our agency is rescheduling the appointment for the beginning of the week.

We never even knew our GCBC cleared in the beginning of the week....needless to say, we are building the crib, and looking for flights!!!

I hope to hear A LOT of good news from everyone when I get home! If I see Mr. PGN, I will let him know that we WANT ALL OF THE BABIES TO COME HOME!!!!

I know I smiled every time I knew someone was travelling on the board, so I hope I was able to put a smile on your faces too!!!!!!!!

I pray for everyone while we are gone!
