We're coming home!!!

I am incredibly thrilled to tell you that we're scheduled to fly home on Tuesday night!!! Our visa appointment is on Monday afternoon in Hanoi and we can pick up Olivia's visa on Tuesday and head to Arkansas! We are THRILLED!!!!!!!! We're flying to Hanoi in the morning, so I have a lot of packing to do. Please remember to pray for us as we continue to travel throughout Vietnam and of course across the ocean home! This will be Olivia's first plane ride and of course we're a little bit nervous about that. One thing we would specifically ask you to pray for is our trip on Tuesday. We should be able to pick Olivia's visa up at 2 and our flight is at 5:25. The trip to the airport is an hour long, so we'll be cutting it a little close. Please pray for all to go well picking up the visa so that we can make our flight on time. If we don't we'll be in quite a pickle. Please also pray for our other three families that are traveling with us. We are all ready to come home! While you're praying, if you would send up a few prayers for Jake, Daddy Don and Amy we would appreciate those, too! Daddy Don and Amy have both had pneumonia and JuJu took Jake to the doctor today and he doesn't have pneumonia, but is taking breathing treatments at home. Please pray for Jake not to get pneumonia again and pray for DD and Amy as they get better.

We should be home in time to have lunch with Jake on Wednesday!!!!!!!! We are SO SO SO SO excited!!!!!!!! I know many of you will want to see Olivia asap, but please give us a couple of days to get adjusted to being a family of four and get over the jet lag. This will no doubt be a huge adjustment for all of us and we have no idea what will happen when we get home. We just know that we'll need a bit of time to get settled. Also, unless I'm completely wrong (which of course never happens lol) Olivia will be scared out of her mind at all of the new people wanting to look at her. She's a bit shy at first and she's just now coming out of her shell with us so I can't even imagine what she'll be like around strangers. Be patient with her! She's worth the wait! I promise! She's just a doll and I mostly can't wait for she and Jake to finally be together.

This may be my last post of the trip, but be prepared for a ridiculous amount of pictures when I get home! We can't wait to get home. We'll see you next week!!!!

Jake - you better get ready because Daddy and I have three weeks worth of hugs and kisses to catch up on and Olivia has 2 1/2 years worth to catch up on! You're going to be a very busy boy! We love you sugarbear and we'll see you soon!
