Leaving tomorrow!

Well, what seemed to take forever has all of a sudden turned into a crazy sprint to get everything in order on many fronts. This is Mark and I just wanted to thank everyone who has already been such a blessing to us and to McKaden. This adventure we are beginning wouldn't have happened without so many people helping us out with prayer, financially, baby supplies, helping us cover work responsibilities back home, etc. We are eternally grateful. Your efforts and concerns on our behalf have not gone unnoticed in the slightest.
My wife is an amazing woman and it is due to her that we are really where we are. . her determination, follow through, constant optimism, and ability to persevere have kept us at this for a long period of time. She already is garnering votes for the "mother of the year" voting. Those of you who know Lori already know this, but I am once again amazed at her in so many ways.
Please pray specifically for Mac as we meet her. She undoubtably will have some serious and hard adjustments to make. Pray for quick and deep bonding and safety for us all. Thanks!!!!

We are going crazy wondering what you're doing RIGHT now (Friday night) and what you're thinking and feeling! You ALL have been on our minds and in our prayers constantly. Faith keeps asking if you're 'back with mac'...and then she laughs because she made a rhyme. Ahhh, simple youth. Me? I am about in tears with anticipation for what you are going through. Sending our love.
