Our Prince is Coming!

Is this not the cutest picture?! He was completely enthralled with a magic trick.  I could just eat him up!

We now have our official TA (travel approval) and confirmation of our CA (consulate appointment).  Our CA is March 25 which means our Gotcha Day of our little prince is March 16!  We are leaving next week- wowowow!!!!!! Can I just pinch myself?

I cannot even begin to tell you how God is working in our son's little life!  It truly gives me shivers to see how He is answering our prayers for him going on almost five years now.   God is so good!

Praises!
1.  His transition to bridge home seems to be going well!
2.  We are getting the most incredible updates and pics of our son!  Words cannot even express our gratitude towards the bridge family for updating us, preparing and loving on our son! So thankful for the bits and pieces of his personality we are learning about each time an email comes through to us!
3.  He's already getting to experience some things that only God can orchestrate!
4. Tutor is coming a couple of times a week to help with English prior to our arrival.
5. His 2nd care package arrived!
6. We got to skype again tonight! (probably not too thrilled with getting clothes but got few some smiles when he saw toy cars!).  Although he's quite shy with us (understandably!), the bridge family tells us he enjoys the calls and starting playing with his toys as soon as we ended the call. Can't EVEN imagine what's going on in that precious mind of his!

Prayer requests this week:
1. God will continue to guard his heart, will begin to feel comfortable and excited about learning some English, and that he understands we are coming soon.
2. God will multiply our time as we are preparing for travel and that our family of four will have some special and relaxed time together before we become a family of five.
3. Girls wouldn't feel the stress of all the last minute details- Abigail is preparing to take her 9 week exams early and  turn in projects prior to our departure.
4. Continued physical strength and normal cpk now, during, and after China! I get zapped with another infusion this week (double edge sword: bad and good timing!). I declare normal health from here on out!  (And I have for about 6 months-woohoo!)!
5. God would make a way with flights- exact day/route would be made clear.

Just a few more sleeps and you'll be with your forever family-

Praying for you constantly!

 Had to add couple of pics of big sister Abigail at her first track meet ever on Saturday! I sent this to Chan, and the bridge family acted out a relay race, and he thought that was funny- heehee!

 She ran three relays and anchored the 4x400 relay- so proud of her! I'm sorry she's having to miss most of the season with us traveling, but little brother is calling- she's had a great attitude about it though!
