WOW all the emotions....

As I am sitting here in an empty house, kids are at my Mom's, dog is at Scott's cousin's house and Scott went out to fly his plane, I decided to blog some feelings down.
I have tears rolling down my face for many reasons, it is TOO quiet in here. I like my noisy house. OK I laughed at myself for that one! I am happy and sad all in one.
WOW did I say I miss my kids already? My heart hurts for them. I know I will be gone for a week and a half and I miss them already. Ella asked me to take her with. I told her I couldn't. As I reassured both kids, kissed them and gave them one more last smell before I told them good bye I realized what it will be like for Anna's foster mother to say good bye to Anna, so sad.
WOW I have all these emotions from happy, scared, sad to FREAKED out.
On our way to take the kids and dog to town we stopped to say goodbye to a neighbor. We let Chloe out to say "hi" to their dog and in a minute the other dog BIT Chloe on the face! So we had to take her to the vet for 3 staples to the wound and some antibiotics. She has a cone on her head! Poor John he has to "feed" her the antibiotics and take care of her with a cone on her head. I felt bad leaving her like that, like she is my baby and I just felt sad.
I am nervous as heck to get on a plane for 13 1/2 hours to Korea. But I want to see Anna so BAD I am willing to do it. I can't wait to hold her and smell her sweet baby smell.
I need to pack our stuff now. So I will just say this will be the hardest thing I will ever do in my life right now. Flying all the way to Korea, leaving our other 2 kids and the dog was hard.

BUT it will ALL BE WORTH it...... look at her sweet face.....

  2. We continue to pray for each of you. Adorable Anna is waiting for her mommy and daddy to come take her home to her brother and sister. You will love feeling the heritage of your girls, it is such an important and valuable thing for adoptive parents. I know it will be exactly as it should be for each of you. Praying the many transitions are tolerable.
    Hugs to you all.
    Take good care.
