It's freaking me out!!!

My four year really has a knack for expressing herself. You never know what’s going to come out her mouth. Yesterday it was her comment about things that really bug her, as dinner was being served last she looked at the red and green peppers on her pizza and said "get the vegetables off, they're freaking me out". Oh how I love her comments. She says the cutest things. Although her comment hit home today. It is a very good adjective to describe how I felt after reading the travel preparation packet. I am freaking out about how I am going to pack clothes for me, clothes for Kevin(pants not shorts), clothes for Eyob, toys for Eyob, a backpack for Eyob, gifts for the staff at HH and donations all in 4 suitcase weighing less than 50# each. I'm also "freaking out" about the birthmother letter. I thought I knew what I was going to say but when I typed it out it was only one paragraph. I just can't find the right words to express how much I admire her and how she will forever be in my heart.
Well I have two more weeks to get this all together but I know everything will work out just fine with God's help. Just had to get this aff my mind.

That is ADORABLE!!!:) I am sure that you will figure out a way to relax and pack all at the same time. just think of the reward of this hassle, a beautiful child and a brother for patrick, and for the rest of the kids!:) I hope all is well!

Toni,
Too cute...your daughters describe me right now, "the anticipation is freakin' me out!" I am so excited but nervous and anxious, too.
We are going to have such a wonderful time together!

That's our Izzy! It's funny that one daughter has decided she's vegetarian and another won't let a vegetable pass her lips. It's a challenge for the cook!

I love that comment - SO adorable! I understand the "freaking out" too :)! My best friend just came over and we worked on packing (if you can get a friend to help - it makes it less stressful :) ). We did it!! We got it all in - I'm shocked. It takes some packing, repacking and more repacking, but it works! Praying for you and SO looking forward to getting to go on this incredible journey together!
