Fundraiser update and more ......

I can not say Thank You enough to everyone that participated in our fund raiser, whether it was by donating money on promoting it on your blogs and facebook pages.

We will be drawing the name for the winner of the ipod touch later today and will announce it here.

Directly through this fundraiser we raised a total of $3200 Wahooo amazing.

When I had the idea I was a little nervous we wouldn't even make the cost back of purchasing the ipod, how small our faith can be at times - but I guess that is all it has to be, like a mustard seed.

We could not have done it without all of you - and I know it had nothing to do with the ipod touch (well at least for most of you :) ), but because of your love for us, and or your desire to help Lily.

We have also received some amazing financial donations separate from the fundraiser which is why the goal on the paypal was decreased.

The love and support we feel from family, friends and even people that we do not even know has touched our hearts very deeply - you are all a part of bringing Lily home.

We hope you will follow our journey to China, we would love for you to leave us messages. We will update this blog as much as possible.

China is 12hrs ahead of the US. We will be getting Lily on Sunday sometime in the afternoon - so check in for pictures and news.

I can not believe we leave in just 2 days. Mia is beyond excited, to see her sister. We are going to miss Benjamin and Ethan like crazy, but know they will be well taken care of by grandparents and friends, and thanks to modern technology like email and skype they will be able to feel apart of it all.
