No time to blog. Gotta get myself back to work! I don't have details or travel news yet. Of course I'll share when we know when we're traveling. I anticipate that we'll have a lot more info tomorrow. Sounds like we'll have Hannah Claire for Christmas!!!!!

    GOOSEBUMPS!!!!!! EEEEEeeeek! Sarah and Kevin, I am telling God how thankful I am that your sweet daughter is coming home THIS CALENDAR YEAR!!!! He is faithful. He knows our limits. Hannah, get ready- you will have to get used to changing clothes AT LEAST twice a day so that all of your mom's "retail therapy" doesn't go to waste! Outfits, outfits, outfits! Plenty to wear, precious miracle girl!

  20. JulieNovember 17, 2008 at 4:57 PM

    Sarah, I think you should count how many outfits you have so you can calculate how often you need to change her so you get each outfit on at least once!!
