Preparations

We have had quite a week spreading the news and sharing photos with family and friends. Everyone is excited to meet the newest member of our family. We posted a package for Leila to the Chenzhou SWI containing a photo book of our family, a blanket, some stuffed toys, and a camera - with hopes her caretakers will take pictures of her, her friends and surroundings at the orphanage. We also sent four passports off to NY for visa stamps. The three of us will be traveling to China along with our niece Keryn, one of Olivia's godmothers.

Olivia is now understanding a little better that her sister will soon be home. She told me she is "very cited" and that the baby is hers, not mine. We are trying to enjoy these last weeks alone with her; life will soon change!




"Hello little sister
I love you!"
