9 more days...

Wow! The time is almost here to head out to China. It seemed like it would never get here. This week is a very busy week for me in general. Here at my elementary school I am trying to get things squared away for a substitute teacher until after the Christmas holidays. The semester is winding down for the 2 undergraduate classes that I teach for UT Arlington. I have some assignments to grade for the online classes that I teach for Walden University. Not to mention packing, karate, and putting up our Christmas tree since the holiday season will be in full swing when we return from China. I must say, it is hard to focus on the details of leaving when all I can think about is finally holding my little Celia Grace for the first time and enjoying China with my 2 "big girls."

I have the girls clothing packed for the most part. Just need a couple of odds and ends. We did buy Celia a new high chair this weekend and my mom put it together. Olivia's bear has been eating in it since yesterday afternoon.

Hang on Celia...we are on our way!
