Getting Ready for China!!!

Ok, we we are totally ready to head to China and get our little monkey!!!  Renee has secured 500 pounds of stuff we "MUST" take, yet we are only allowed 88 pounds.  Guess I will be wearing the same clothes for 17 straight days. 

So, our agency told us to not ask for updated information from the orphanage.  What do little defiant Joe and Renee do...contact Ann from Redthread.com and ask for updated information.  It's hit or miss, but they sent us updated pictures, measurements and a health data.  We were so happy.  Renee is not digging Madison's comb over, but hey, she's not the only one with a thin hairline.  Shhhh, don't tell anyone, we might get in trouble...the words bite me come to mind... please don't tell us NOT to do something, cuz we will try to do it, just cuz ya told us not too.

Maddie is pretty small for a 1 year old, but has T-R-O-U-B-L-E shooting from her cute little eyes.  Looks like she will fit right in.  My niece Emily is sooo excited.  Good luck to anyone who thinks they are going to get past her to be with Madison.  We told her she will be a big sister, not a cousin. 

The new pictures really motivated us...4 days and counting.  Feels like forever after 4 years.  We are in contact with our 2 other travel partners, all seem cool and nice.  Hope they can put up with how obnoxious we are.
