Travel Plans are Done

My wonderful amazing agency was able to get us our Consulate Appointment scheduled for April 7. Which means we leave for China in TWO days!!!! We fly out on Thursday night-YAHOO!

We had to make some slight travel modifications considering the current high price tag on airline tickets right now, due to the tsunami and high fuel costs. The boys will not be going with us on this trip. We tried and tried to figure out how we could get all of our kiddos there economically, but we finally concluded we might go to jail if we sent them like this...

We are sad that they will be staying behind, but fortunately my great-wonderful-heroic mom will be in charge of my baby boys while we are away. This will be the first time I have ever left them for more than 3 nights, so please say some extra prayers that our seperation will not be filled with anxiety on either end. We will be Skyping regularly and I hope that will help.

So we are all packed (without humans in the suitcases) and ready to go!!
