Yawsa! We're O-U-T OUT!

Yessaronie! It is true! I can't believe it. Totally unexpected. Thought it would be at least 3 or 4 more weeks! Our timeline is below for those interested.
Sara Lucy, we hope we'll pick you up before Christmas! That would be so awesome! Our 8yo is happy, but not sure what to think!
On to Pink!
