We are headed to Indy right now! The girls are doing great so far, but it will be hard to give them kisses good-bye at the airport. They have their paper-chain ready to countdown the days until we are back with Beilyn! They are super excited about all the sleepovers and daily gifts for the next two weeks!

One of my favorite verses is Isaiah 26:3 and I've been praying for that perfect peace since the day we sent our Letter of Intent to adopt Kaiyun. I'm still scared about what her future holds, but I know He chose her for our family. Please pray for our girlies while we are away, pray for safe travels for us, and especially be praying for Beilyn as her whole world is about to be turned upside down! Thank you for your love and support!

wow! prayers for all and thx for sharing that verse!!
