Off We Go

Unbelievable! After all these months, and months, of waiting we are about to head off.  We have 9 hours until we leave our house for the airport and our 4 flights to get to Kigali.  I keep reminding the kids that tomorrow morning is the day we say goodbye and Bailey (3yrs) just yells "Yes, to Africa to get our baby brother!"  So sweet.  We will miss them like crazy but so glad they are excited for their new brother and the fun they will have these few weeks.  We are so grateful for Nana and Auntie and cousin Peyton for staying with them.

Our luggage is waiting at the door, and I am of course concerned our scales are all way off and we will be over the limit, guess we will see soon enough.  We are super excited to get going.  Our dear friends left Wed to get over a bit early to be with their daughter, who was sick.  We are praying she is on the mend now and they had a sweet first meeting with her today.  So, we are a bit sad to not get to travel with them the next 3 days as planned but we will have so much time together these next 3 weeks and we will be traveling with many of the other families in our group out of DC on Sunday, so fun we can't wait to meet them in person. 

For our simplified itinerary.  We do want to post everyday but these first days are a lot of traveling so we will do our best, you will see where we may have a bit of trouble:

Sat, Apr 30   Boise to Denver
                     Denver to DC
                     In DC for the night
Sun, May 1   DC to Ethiopia
Mon, May 2 In Ethiopia
                    Ethiopia to Kigali
                    In Kigali in the afternoon

Hopefully we will be going right away to meet our new son!  We will share what we can as soon as we can.  Thank you so much for your support and love.  We are ready to get some sleep and then off we go!!!
