Busy weekend

Sojung and Lady
Me with Lizzy and her mom, Linda.
Lizzy took this picture. Pretty good for a six year old don't you think?
We all went out for Korean food.
The bags on Sojung's feet were to protect her shoes from the spray paint. I think the paint fumes were starting to get to us by the time this picture was taken.
Our big news is that next weekend we get to meet the girls we are adopting! We thought we would be picking them up in June, however things have changed and we will pick them up this weekend. To say we are scrambling to get things ready would be an understatement. My friend Linda, (see her picture above) graciously gave us bunk beds for the girls. Mattresses included! What a blessing. I have known Linda for over six years...I met her when her son was in kindergarten and she was pregnant with Lizzy. Lizzy is now in my class and one of the seven cute faces I get to see every morning. Linda's family are some of my favorite people. We went to their house to pick up the beds and then to dinner at their favorite Korean restaurant. It was delicious.
Sunday we spent preparing for the girls. Marcus has been getting the room ready and Sojung and I started painting the red bunk beds white. They are looking good. Sojung also started painting wooden letters that spell out the girls' names. You will have to wait for that picture. She has one name finished. They are BEAUTIFUL!! Sojung has been a big help in getting ready for the girls. She is very excited to have sisters coming soon.
Our cat Juliet has to be on anything that new that comes into the house. So the minute the mattresses made an appearance she was all over them like a bad rash. Pierre couldn't miss out on the action either.

Oh my gosh!!! We have prayed and prayed for you! I don't know what's more exciting, the fact that two little girls have the opportunity to be raised in a Christian home, together, or that you are going to be a Mommy in like less than 5 days! AHHH!
I am so excited! I can't wait to meet them!
