We Are In Seattle!!

We are so close to being in China to get our sweet Karlye!  Six more days until we get to hold our daughter and become a forever family!  We are so excited that we can hardly stand it!  Please pray for safe travels and good health, as we are running on little sleep.  Please continue to pray for little Karlye's transition on "Gotcha Day", as this transition may be difficult for her initially.  We are confident that the Lord has been preparing Karlye's heart for this transition, but it may take her some time.  Please pray that the Lord continues to prepare our hearts for this day as well.  It is hard to imagine the variety of emotions that will take place that day, but we are ready for it!  

I would like to thank you all once again for walking with us every step of the way through this wonderful journey of adoption.  We are so incredibly blessed to be surrounded by such supportive, loving, and encouraging friends and family.  Can you believe that we are finally going to get her?

We are going to do our best to update our blog as frequently as possible while in China.  There may be times that we are unable to update, but we will do the best we can.  We can't wait to see all of you when we return!  For those that are coming to the airport, don't forget to check the blog at the last minute to make sure that we made our connecting flight.  Family and friends are planning to meet on the second floor of the airport where people enter and exit the gates (next to security).

China, here we come!

We will post when we make it to Beijing!
