*******UPDATE*******

Of course we would have loved to see them...but oh my word....there will be other visits for us.....THIS IS THE EVENT of a lifetime..getting to their sweet boy before Christmas!!!

We are over the moon with happiness for them!!!

Please lift them in prayer as God brings them to your thoughts!

Coby will be in their arms on Friday..which is Thursday night our time!!!

I cannot wait to see him in his momma's arms!!!

Original Post:

To say that I am excited would be an enormous understatement!!!

Wanna know why???

Because this Friday, we are going HERE, to spend the weekend.

And, while we're there we plan to do THIS,

and shop HERE....

and especially THIS!!!

I have always wanted to see these high kickin' gals in a live performance...and when I heard they were only 5 hours away from us...
I knew I had to be in that audience!

We also plan to take a carriage ride around the hotel property at night to see all of the beautiful Christmas lights!

But that is not why I am "BEYOND EXCITED"....now, please don't misunderstand, I am looking forward to doing all the above mentioned things.....but...the reason I am beyond excited is because .......

***drum roll please****

I get to spend Friday afternoon with

HER and her "team",

and with HER and her little cutie, since she has not yet left for Vietnam to go get her sweet little boy....

and HER and her beautifully talented sister,

I hope we don't get anything stuck in our "escofffff-o---gus"!!!

hee-hee!!!!

OH YEAH, all 3 of them with me on Friday!!!!!!

Anyone else want to join us????

I will have my camera in hand the entire time.....while we spend the afternoon talking, laughing & sharing.

I am beyond anxious to meet all of their sweet babies/ and sister.....

because if you know me at all...

you know that CHINA is near and dear to my heart!!!

I will actually get to hug on all of their little angels!

Oh....oh...oh...I hope Friday hurries up!!!

I am ready to go right now!!!

So, GWEN, MISSY & LAURA.....I cannot wait to meet all of you on Friday....

Only 4 more days!!!

Before we leave town early Friday morning, we have several events/commitments to attend here!

We will be attending a Charity Benefit Christmas Dinner .....

and a local symphony Christmas concert with our homeschool group...

and

Chelsi has one more block of classes (Science Lab & Spanish) before this semester ends.

And just because I cannot do a post without pictures....

Here are some pics of the pretty poinsettias that Chuck delivered

to Chelsi's pediatrician, (who happens to be our dear friend);

To our accountant/lawyer (who also is a dear friend);

and to our computer Guru...(who is a dear friend as well!).

We are thankful for all that these precious people do for our family all year long, and these flowers are just a small way to say thank you for being such an important part of our lives!

Oh, and I almost forgot...just take a look at Chelsi's fingernails...

She did this totally on her own...no air brushing...just water...nail polish ...a cup ...and a toothpick, oh and nail polish remover,

to get the extra paint off of her skin.

She found a y*u tube video about "Nail Art"...and gave it a try!

Amazing!

I hope your week is full of many sweet December blessings!!!
