The Countdown Begins

Two weeks to go and we'll be leaving on a jet plane! I have been in survival mode the past month. Aside from changing all the travel plans, I have done nothing to prepare for this trip. I'm still a little nervous something could change or go wrong. But now I'm running out of time. I've got 2 weeks to get my Christmas shopping done and wrapped, plan Christmas dinner, put up the tree, and make sure everything is ready for the boys. Luckily, I'm done shopping for the boys thanks to Amazon. I think I may be single handedly keeping them in business. For those of you who don't know, TAX FREE AND MOST ITEMS ARE FREE SHIPPING! And their prices are usually less than the stores. I sit here on my couch with my laptop, feet up, clicky click! The boys were off from school all week and every day packages would arrive!

I am soooooo ready to meet our little girl! It will be just about 3 years that we started with adoption when we finally get her home. That's a long time! Aidan was a little 4 1/2 year old, now he's a big 7 year old who will be the best big brother! Nate was a little first grader just learning to read. Now he's a fourth grader who will be reading his favorite books to his baby sister!

Aw, that made me tear up. Thinking about the boys being big brothers. I'm glad you got all your wrapping done, you know I don't do wrapping!
