Getting Ready!!!!

We are quickly getting ready to leave in 4 days! We now have Maren's room complete; thanks to a friend, we have a crib (it is in the lower left-hand corner). We have read that we may want a crib and a regular bed in her room: in case we need to sleep in her room with her (she is probably used to sleeping in a room with 20+ children).

We now have childcare lined up; we get homesick for them when we think about leaving them for 2 weeks.  However, we know they are going to have so much fun (they probably will not miss us near as much as we will miss them). A huge thanks to our family and friends: Wynnette (Michelle's twin sister) will keep them Thursday through Sunday, Renee (Michelle's cousin) will keep them Sunday through Thursday, and Grandma Iris/Calesse (Michelle's sister)/Grandma Nancy will keep them Thursday through Thursday. We are so appreciative of all of you who are helping us with this journey in any way: those of you watering flowers, picking us up at the airport, and fervently praying for us as our journey continues.
