36 Hours Until Take Off and Counting Down...
As of tonight, we've packed our little boy's (BIG) suitcase, all of our documents into a carry-on bag, and a medium-sized suitcase which contains our food and other things our little boy will need. Our other carry-on bags have been started, and my clothes are packed. Tomorrow after church, we will finish our packing and run our last minute errands. We also have to send our taxes off, too! The last few days have been crazy, and gathering our remaining documents was not an easy task. But God is faithful, and He helped clear obstacles along the way, while He also taught us lessons about being patient and trusting Him to help us get things done! We're so grateful to now be in the homestretch before our final trip and so excited that we will get to see our little one in just a few days!
Below are a few pictures of our little boy's nursery. As I walked into his room this morning, I was so excited as I realized that this time next month, he will be able to sleep in the crib that has been put together in the room since last April (11 months ago!) and rock with us in the chair that has sat in the corner since last Spring! As I look back, it seemed during the process that it took us so long for us to get here, but suddenly it doesn't seem like that long ago that we began our adoption journey. We are so excited for it to end in a few days with a new beginning of adding our little boy to our family!

Glad that all the last minute details have come together. I'm looking forward to hearing those wonderful words that court is done and you are mommy & daddy.

Oh the nursery looks beautiful, Carrie! Isn't it amazing how God takes the pain of waiting away when you finally reach this point in the process and know you're bringing your baby home? We're looking forward to hearing all about your trip and your reunion with your son, and we can't wait to meet him!
Are you going to be up for greeters at the airport when you return? We met Carey and Norman this past week, and it was so sweet seeing the 4 of them together. You may not decide this until you have your son...just let us know! :)
I pray for your safe journey. May Silas be well and court go quickly. Can't wait to hear how things are going!!

How exciting that the next time you walk in there it'll be to check on your little boy :) I pray God's continued blessing on you as you travel to pick up your son.I pray that you will continue to bond with him as his parents.I pray for no fear/anxiety on his part. I pray for all the legal "technicalities" to be done smoothly.Be careful and have a GREAT trip !!!!

Just wait till you're strapped into the seatbelt of the plane - then you can exhale and be on your way!

The room is beautiful, Carrie. Can't wait to read that court is finally behind you and you are parents. How exciting! Have a safe trip.
His room is just beautiful. It will be even better with your little guy standing up in his crib with his arms out stretched to his Mama! It won't be long now.
Wishing you a fabulous trip! I can't wait to read about your reunion with your son!
Godspeed!

Your nursery looks great.

I love his nursery. I can't wait to see pictures of him in there.
The room is perfect. I bet that you are so excited.
You are in my prayers.
