Today was a very big day. First and foremost, we got the news late yesterday that we’re leaving Kras a day early! We’re not sure whether that means coming home a day early, but it does mean Conner and Carson come to the hotel with us on Saturday! We will be full time parents in less than two days!! We move into a bigger room tomorrow in order to have more space when the boys come the next day. Oh, my!

We will not see the boys tomorrow, but that will give us time to move rooms and prepare for their arrival. Today, we saw where each boy sleeps, eats and plays. We saw both groups of children they live with. Carson’s group is the “Snowmen” and Conner’s is the “Blue Bells.”



We had a nice time with Carson first thing. He was walking around the play room more than he ever has. And we decided to try out the piano! He did not hit it hard. Good boy. He was so sweet with us, showed us his play room and his fellow Snowmen. The kid is truly a heartbreaker.


Wouldn’t you be unhappy if you slept here and had to wear such a ridiculous outfit?

Holy cow, they put a technicolor outfit on Conner today. He could have lit up the night with that shirt. The poor guy has a rash on his face, probably from a mild food allergy. He is pictured here showing us his bed in a room of 13 others. He was afraid that it meant bedtime, so he was especially unhappy. We can’t wait for the US doctors to clear up his rash. You can’t tell by the picture, but we had a good day with him too.

As if it hasn’t been enough of an adventure already, the crazy part is about to begin. How will these two behave together? Will they sleep at all? And before we know it…the travel! We’ll let you know if it looks like our arrival home is moved up a day.

You all look great! It will be VERY hard to follow my own advice and not scoop them up and kiss them all over and hug them tight when I see them. I just get emotional because I can feel what you're thinking, feeling, doing, etc right now. And I can see in the boys what we saw in our boys. Bless their hearts. But Conner, you can kiss that old bed goodbye and lay your sweet little head down on mama & papa's shoulder... and a new, soft, clean, loving bed forever... soon.
