so much love....

have i mentioned how excited i am to get our boys...eeeekkk..i can hardly wait!! As the days go on, i find myself becoming a little less stressed about flying 20 some hrs(i know, scary, that's what i think!!)but a little more impatient, just dreaming about the boys! Each and every morning the kids greet the boys,wish them a happy day(or evening, since they are about 10 hrs. ahead..)blow them kisses, and off to school they go...they asked me this am if the boys know about them?? oh, how i wish they did,but soon, they will!! we are allowed to send a 10-photo pic book to each of them and a personal item...how do we reveal to them that we love them so much?? well, i think we'll have some photos taken of our family, which will include Will and Gabe, yep that's right, the kids will be holding them in 8x10 picture frames...i hope they look at these and know, that already they are OUR family and can feel the love we have for them!!So, tomorrow off for our fingerprints,which will then be expedited, to hopefully get everything rolling a bit faster, so we can get to the boys as soon as we are able...you know, since our family was hit with the flu this wknd, we had time to watch the same movie over and over and over...which was THE LITTLE PRINCESS...what a good movie, and nope it's not about cinderella or sleeping beauty,anyhow, the little girl in the movie had lost her mother and her father was going to war,but oh, how she longed for her momma, and it again,over and over made me think of Will and Gabe, and the loss that they've had to deal with in their short little lives, and again will be experiencing loss when they leave all that they know and the people who are familiar and love them, oh, how i hurt for them, and pray that the transition will go as smooth as possible, and hope they will know from the time we saw their faces, that we were in love and our hearts and arms are wide open for them,ready to love on them,snuggle,listen,
comfort and love them unconditionally...and of course the kids are ready to play!! p.s. one more quick note: grant and kate have show &tell 1x/wk, and have taken the boys a few times now, every time telling me,"mom, i'm the only one with the best show and tell, and nobody else has the same as me!!" How cute!! xo kristen
