The Anticipation....


We've heard many of you were having difficulty posting comments. We think we have fixed it and would love to hear from you. Today, we enjoyed our last day of sleeping in and got some much needed rest. We had a great day today getting settled in and exploring the area around our apartment. We're very thankful we were able to arrive last night and get some things organized today. The area around us is really nice. They have a great festival (see picture) right in the courtyard of our hotel/apartment every Sunday, so we spent a little time there and then made our way to the mall and grocery store for some last minute things. We just can't believe that this day has finally arrived. We are so excited! The anticipation is intense - to think this is the last night he will spend at FANA and the last night we will ever have to be without him. We wonder how his looks have changed since his referral picture, what his personality will be like, what his little hands and feet are like. We could go on and on......We are so grateful and can't wait to finally hold him in our arms tomorrow. Please keep the three of us in your prayers. We can't wait to share our pictures and thoughts of our great day with everyone tomorrow.
