Dear Brothers, is your life full of difficulties? Then be happy. For when the way is rough, your patience has a chance to grow. For when your patience is in full bloom, you will be strong in character and ready for anything. You will be full and complete" - James 1:2-4

Never in a million years did I think that the days leading up to completing our family would be this stressful or the wait even more difficult than the wait that we have already endured. We recieved a call today from our lawyer. Liam is scheduled to arrive on Monday at 1:00. He will be delivered to us at the hotel. There are so many emotions going on in our heads right now I wouldn't even know where to begin. I have to just trust that God will allow everything to go as smooth as possible. I pray that He is preparing Liam's for the easiest transition possible. My heart is already breaking for the trama that he may go through coming to us at 21 months. I pray for Alex and Callum that will be here in the states. Alex had a very hard day today. She wants to travel with us so badly and kept repeating all day how much she will miss us. I don't want to wish a week away, but I can not wait until next Friday night when our family will be united and will be complete.

We are trying to stay as busy as possible at the moment. This morning we all had our yearly physicals. Alex weighs 51 pounds which is about the 53 percentile for weight. She is in the 97 percentile for height. Callum on the other hand weights 40 pounds. He is in the 95th percentile for weight and 49th percentile for hight. It was hilarious to see their charts side by side. Callum needs to get 4 shots to be up to date while Alex still needs a chicken pox vaccination. We held off today and will wait until we get back to do all of that. With our luck, we would have done it today and Alex would have been in the 10% to actually get the chicken pox:0). I won't share mine and Gareth's weight, but I have supposedly shrunk an inch. Can't see that really happening, but I wasn't going to argue with the nurse:0) Needless to say, we are all very healthy and hope to remain that way for the forseable furture!!!!

I will post more tomorrow!!! 4 days until we hold Liam for the first time!!!!!!!
