Another week almost over.....

We finally went out and purchased carpet for Sarah’s room and hope to have her room completely done in another week or two. It’s been very exciting to know that we are so close but also a huge test of patience. I just want to finish packing and off we go…. But the reality is we do still have a good month or so to go before we hit that point. In the meantime we celebrated Samuel’s 5th Birthday this past Sunday, his first “official” party with 6 of his little friends, balloons and a big home made Dinosaur Cake. It was a lot of fun and certainly made this past week go by very fast.

I finished up our final packing list, picked out Sarah’s Gotcha Day and Civil Affairs outfits; I just hope one of the two sizes will fit her then Mommy and Sarah will get to go shopping after the official stuff is done later that week. We are still undecided on whether we will spend one or two days in Beijing site seeing ... it will be difficult to be in China so close but yet have to wait another day or two to hold Sarah in our arms... but yet as amazing to be able to see some of the great wonders of China such as the Forbidden City and the Great Wall.
