Well we are down to 1 day! Can you believe it? I cant!! It is early morning for her, she is probly just waking up and then her care takers will be loving on her and getting her ready for her leave. I know that they will be broken hearted. She has been so loved at the recreation center, you can tell with her health and photos and videos we have seen that she has been so well taken care of! I know that the escort will go to the recreation center a few hours before their flight, they will stand in a circle and pray for a safe trip and then they will leave with tears all around Im sure. That is one part of this journey that I ache about for her, how scary it will be to be taken by someone you dont know taken in a car and on a plane... how weird that will be to her and scary... then after all of that she will again be thrust into someone elses arms that looks so different and again here will come some more confusion and scariness. I pray for her to have comfort.
Im not sure I will be sleeping at all tonight though I think Im gonna have to take some Tylenol PM or something because last night I only got 4 hours... luckily I fell asleep early on the couch but then woke up at 2:30 to the sound of my darling hubby snoring GRRR!!! So then of course I was wide awake thinking about Malia.
The kids are so excited, I know its going to be so hard for them to sit at school all day awaiting their sister, Im know Kaden and Maddie wont want to go but we are trying as hard as possible to not mess with school or their normal activities.
Tonight we will decorate a couple posters to take to the airport.. Maddie is pretty excited about that! I have done all ALL of my cleaning the only thing left is vacuuming and Im saving that for tonight or in the morning, one more thing to distract what will probably be a very long day tomorrow.
So please pray for Malia and her flight tonight, she will be in the US pretty early tomorrow and then has a lengthy layover until her flight into DIA! WOW how amazing I cant wait to have her in my arms!!

Just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you and your exciting day tomorrow.
When are you going to sleep? Once she gets here, you will be up all night looking at her. :) So happy for your special day tomorrow! I'll be thinking of you!
OMGoodness...this doesn't even seem real to me! I know all of the emotions you are feeling. I can't believe Malia is going to be with you!!!!!!!!! I can not wait to read about it. I am so very happy for you, I am crying right now! Congrats!
I can't wait - I'll be stalking the blog waiting for pictures. Enjoy your day!
Today is the day! I can't wait! Malia and your family has been in our prayers. I have also been thinking about how scary her journey must be. So many new things and new people to deal with. But, her little spirit will settle in with your family and she will feel your immense love for her. What a blessing to get her home! I will be there today with camera in hand sporting my Team Malia shirt! See you soon!
Boy, I almost got emotional myself reading your blog. Thanks for the pictures! What a beautiful little girl. :) I am so glad that she seems to be doing well here in the states. Congratulations!
