to finally have a pix of her mei mei.

16 More Days til We get to leave

only 16 more days until we leave for China. I have such mixed emotions about leaving.
I'm excited about seeing Kaia. But I hate leaving Makena. I know that I will ball my
eyes out on the day we leave. I'm going to try and not let Makena see me cry. Right
now we are writing Makena's letters for her to open every night and alittle present
to open everyday. So I hope that comforts her. I'm not trying to buy her Love but
I want her to feel secure and safe in our family. Hopefully, we can call her every
couple of days. I know that she will be in good hands with Grandma. The good
thing is. Makena and Grandma will be at our house most of time. We'll I better
close for now.

Hold Kaia baby. We are on our way.

Love,
Mommy and Daddy

26 days UNTIL WE LEAVE

We are so excited. I can't believe we are leaving on Nov. 5th. I believe Gotcha Day will
be Nov.9th. I pray for Kaia's safety and well being. I hope that she has an easy adjustment
peroid attaching to us. Please pray for her. We will miss Makena so much. I hope that she
does ok while we are gone. We pray for her stay with out us to be as easy as possible.

Love,
Nikki
