Diapers, wipes, and sippy cups - oh my!

So last night I went SHOPPING for all our essentials for Seth. Well, holy cow do toddlers come with a whole lot of crap! I had completely forgotten all the things you need to lug around for a toddler. BUT, I had a BLAST shopping!!!

While I was shopping I think it all finally fit me. Touching all these tagible items for Seth was making everything feel so much more REAL!! I almost started crying in front of the diapers - not sure whether it was the fact that I was buying diapers for my son or that I was so overwhelmed with the selection...

We are all packed and SOOOOOOOO ready to go! I will check in if I can.

Take care and blessings to EVERYONE who has supported us through this VERY long journey. We have felt ALL the love and could not have done this without you!!

Almost...almost DONE!!!

Until we are 4...

Once again I am late checking your news, and I am sure you are gone by now......crying here with tears of excitement for you. I am so excited for you and it brings back so many memories of two years ago when we got the same call for Lincoln. I hope you have a wonderful trip and enjoy every minute with your son!!

Love that you are en route and that your son will soon be in your arms where he belongs. I pray that having him will be all that much sweeter because of all it took to get him home.

Looking forward to reading your next post!
