Our submission date is scheduled for tomorrow, July 13th. I just wanted to remind everyone so they could join us in prayer that all goes well and we get our travel date quickly. They are ahead of us by 8 hrs so please go ahead and begin the prayers tonight!!!! :)
We have been trying to get everything as ready to go as we can so that a short notice won't cause total chaos, but I'm sure I will still be in full panic mode regardless of how much notice we get. We have bought some board books, bubbles, bouncy balls, little baby dolls, crayons and coloring books to play with when we visit them at the orphanage. We found a skort for each with 2 matching shirts each. We also found what will be their 'gotcha day' outfits. We found little sundresses Saturday. They are Disney princess sundresses and since Abby already had the Cinderella sundress we bought the Belle/Beauty and Sleeping Beauty sundresses. We thought it was appropriate! Abby's birthday party this year was the Disney princesses. She noticed on the tablecloth that there were enough princesses to represent all of the 5 sisters. She kept changing who was which princess... that is a tough call for a little 4 year old! So now all three of the little princesses will have the Disney princess sundresses... assuming they fit, that is! :)
We had Shelby's early birthday party yesterday so we would definitely not miss her party! Once it was over I made sure to point out that we had been able to make it to her party. Her response? That we were going to miss taking her out to eat on her birthday! I guess we are bound to have guilt one way or another with her! :)

I'm so excited for you! When I traveled to Russia in 2005, I missed my son Ben's b-day. When I traveled to Russia in 2009, guess whose birthday I missed? Yep, Ben's again.:(
