Here we go!

I can hardly believe the time has finally come for us to bring our little Sophia home. Rodney, Madeline and I will be leaving in the morning to head to China - our bags are packed and by the door, Tami and Liz are ready to take over here with the kids, everything is pretty much coming together and all that's left is to get on the plane and get there!
