We are so excited and a little overwhelmed!  This is quite the trip to put together on 5 days notice!  Luckily we had already done research, purchased our humanitarian aid and gotten all of our travel immunizations before the call on Monday!  Shew!  It's been a slight whirlwind but luckily it hasn't been a tornado. :)

Can't wait until we pass court and can share pictures of our cutie!!!!!!
