A Busy Month for Sure!

I can’t believe we are four days into August already!  This leaves us about three weeks before take-off!  The days fly by, but the nights are slow.  This month, there is a lot going on.  My dad is leaving for Asia next Friday, my mother is coming home from a 3 ½ week vacation in New Hampshire, my niece and nephew fly home from Louisiana today, and of course, we leave for China on the 26^th.  We are still making a list of things we want to buy for the trip to China.  Last weekend I took some Tylenol PM to see how well it would put me to sleep.  I was shocked at how sleepy it made me.  I guess we wont have any problems sleeping on the plane.  I got Chris some more Xanax from the pharmacy, so he should be set with his “happy pills”.  Other than that, we are trying to get/keep the house clean before we leave.  My bag is packed, although I have to stuff some jeans I bought for Saiya in there in case it is a little cool in Ningxia.   Sometime in the next few days or so, we should get a finalized price list and itinerary from the agency as well as have our Travel Meeting.

One of the families who went to China on July 29^th was kind enough to take pictures of our girl for us.  She is a cutie!  In almost all of the pictures she is all scrunchy-faced and pouty!  I can’t help but think about how much she looks like me when I was little.  I used to scrunch up my face and pout like that too!!  If you didnt know my husband (and thought that I married an Asian person), she could very easily pass for my biological daughter.  Sorry, Chris, nothing we can do to make her look like you!
