Things are really gearing up at our house for my upcoming trip. I think Callie and Delaney are excited about having a new little sister but a little uneasy about us being apart for 2 weeks. They are really looking forward to seeing Nana and Papa come to stay with them. Today at naptime Delaney was crying because it was taking them so long to come to stay with her.

Wheeee!!!!!!!! Here we go again! Can't wait. Grace had her seventh birthday last Tuesday - I know that Callies is coming up. I remember standing in the middle of Tiananmen square the first time we were there - all of the Olympics stuff already up - thinking how OLD they would be at 8 - and how far away that was. Now, here we are - they are 7. I have two, you are on your way for three - isnt life amazing.

Just wanted to let you know that your in our prayers. Can't wait to meet Caisy. Hope you are having a great time. Try and get some rest. :)
Just found your blog! Donna clued me in. You probably have Caisy by now! Our prayers are with you and we are VERY anxious to hear from you. In some ways in seems like a lifetime since we started this journey together six years ago. In other ways it seems like just yesterday. Blow a kiss to China from us. And give Caisy a hug from the Tresch family.
