I am almost finished packing, but NOTHING is lite!!!! I'd hoped for just 3 checked bags and 1 carrying......but it's quickly turned into 4 checked with 2 carryon. I am very nervous about how all this will work out tomorrow, but know it will work out. :)
I am super excited to travel and this is my trial run with blogger on the iPad!!!
Off to set up the VPNs now!!!! :):):):)

TRAVEL PREP TIME!!!!
Life is CRAZY here!!!
Yes, we are still about $5000 short (and $2000 of it pretty much due right now), but I am moving on --- I can't worry about that anymore..........too stressful when I know God's got it!
I spent several hours today in the van getting our oldest and myself to the dr for pre trip med's. Got the other dr to call in ones for the new girls...........and then drove around to 3 different pharmacy's to try and get all the med's!!! That was after I had PT, got the lawn mowed, picked up ds after pk, drove to another town to get a travel wisk for my shakes/puddings in C..........then rushed back to pick up the littles and the oldest from their schools before getting it all done!!!!
Flat Stanley will be going with us as well now, to help with a class project for Mrs. Peterson!!! :)
And I got 2 large boxes of orphanage donations to take with us!!!!! What a BUSY day!!!!!
God's got all of this!!!!!
We leave in 3 days!!!!!! We have really packed the girls stuff, except clothes and med's............but need to repack and cull down!
Tomorrow, there is lots more to do, but fortunately dh is ALSO OFF!!!! :):):)
Saturday I have a chiro apt, the bug man is coming, and all morning we'll be egg hunting!!!!! Plus I need to have my van DETAILED!!!!!! I may just get the detailing tomorrow --- I mean a thorough detail, scrubbing the seats that are usually under the kids car seats and the insides of the windows kind of detail............I don't want my new kids to come into FILTH!!!!! The rest of the house looks pretty good, but I also want the fridge done too.............OMGOSH I have SO MUCH to FINISH!!!!
Please pray! LOL I'm not that great a house wife type person..............but I'm kinda OCD about how I want our dd's 1st impressions to be at least..............and the person that is going to be here during the days taking care of the kids that are staying with daddy at home, so he can keep working.
So much to do, so little time!!!! But I promise that I will be posting via C............pretty much every day as long as the internet allows!!!! :):):)
If you feel lead, you can help give to the $2000 still needed by clinking on the Reece's Rainbow link to the right! :)
T for the C's!

CA and Tickets --- MOMMY IS TRAVELING 4/20-5/10!!!!!
We finally have received our requested CA for May 8th...................AFTER we got the 13th like we'd wanted, but found out that our 1st province is closed the last week of April! UGH
I shopped around and finally found our tickets, just to have my niece tell me she can no longer go because her college professors that at one point were ok, were no longer ok with it.
So, thankfully I hadn't purchased the tickets yet.................. And I'm still holding out hope for finding another travel partner.
I've seen others do it, and it's possible................but having both or all 3 girls melt down at once in public will be my undoing. :( And though I'll have the little one in a stroller when we go places, the older one MIGHT be one that runs when she gets upset, esp with grief going on...............and how in the world would I deal with that while the baby and my oldest are just standing there by me? At least with babies you can contain them in a stroller............lol
Anyway, so in doing all this planning we also now have our final costs. I used the plane ticket monies to pay the orphanage donations due to the agency, still over 800 short for that................hehehehe.............and the rest...........well, I'm just trying to figure it all out.............but God's got this.
In total, our new FSP total needs to read $11500. Which is a little less than 7000 more from now.............
We travel in 15 days (EASTER DAY 4/20)!!!!! Please pray for funding, for a trip partner, and just sanity in general as I start the final phase before travel! :)
