August 6th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We just found out today - our Travel Approval is on the way and we'll get John Paul August 6th!!!!

The timing could not be more perfect.  My mom arrives August 3rd.  We (Matt and me, and Luke) fly on Sunday August 5th and meet John Paul on Monday.  We'll all four come back home on Wednesday August 8th. 

Mom and Dad will keep the big three while we are gone.  

John Paul will arrive home one week early for Lydia's birthday party.  Hopefully after seven full days of big family love (and big family chaos - ha!) he'll be in the mood for some birthday cake :) 

More later, I'm off to look at flights, hotels, and think about packing for a little boy!

Tears are in my eyes as I write - what a joyous occasion! John Paul might not be so thrilled to start with but he is about to become part of a large, joyous loving nuclear famiy (what little boy could want more?) and loving extended families on both sides - what a blessing for us all!

Praying for you all ... that John Paul will not be afraid but will feel very loved, that the kiddos will be patient and full of love for their new brother, that you and Matt will have sensitivity and wisdom to know where to direct your time and attention. Thank you for taking this leap of faith!
