Starting To Feel Real...

I posted to my personal Facebook account earlier tonight that it is starting to feel real...it truly does feel like a reality now not just a plan or project thats been in the works for almost 12 months (but who's counting?).  Here are a few pictures to document the recent preparations:

This is Noah's suitcase.  Yay for a great deal on a display model!  And I think he'll enjoying it.

Our tickets which arrived today.  See, feels real doesn't it?

Two books that tell the amazing story of adoption-gifts from 2 special friends

More books-trying to build a library for Noah that includes Mandarin & English books

That is all for now.  I washed the first load of clothing that contained some of Noah's tonight.  I'd post a picture of the laundry room too but then you'd all realize how crazy life is getting. Thanks again to all our family, friends and neighbors that have offered to help with the children, house, mail, 3 dogs and the cat while we are traveling.  We're so blessed to be building a supportive network and can't wait for Noah to meet all of you one day soon!
