Our China Travels

We are getting SO close now to our sweet girl, it's pretty surreal! We should find out next week if we'll be going in May or early June. Thankfully, I'm feeling a ton of peace at this point, either way. It's all out of our hands, so there's no real point in stressing about it, even though of course we'd love to have her in our arms sooner rather than later!

This weekend we celebrated Easter, and of course we had Lainey on our minds! We can't wait to have her home with us, spending time with family & hunting for eggs with Canaan and Ezra. :)
