So Hard to say Goodbye


Oh my gosh how the tears flowed! I'm sitting in the airport, blogging of course! I said goodbye to Ben at home so he could get ready for school. I cried, he felt uncomfortable :) I swear he was holding back tears! :)

Saying goodbye to Jackson and Joe & Blake at the airport was really hard too. The worst part though was when my phone rang shortly after they left and both of the boys were on it just bawling and begging me not to go! They are so little and 2 weeks seems like an eternity to them.

I know this is a lot of personal info but this is our travel diary of sorts so please bear with me!

Boys, I'll be home before you know it! You are going to have a lot of fun while I'm gone. Mommy has a few surprises planned! Ben, have fun but Be Good!! I love you all!

Thinking about you and wishing you so much strength at this bittersweet time. The boys will be just fine and all that sadness will be erased when they lay eyes on their little sis for the first time.

Try to rest on the flight. You'll need it!!

Hugs,
Lisa

Dear Lynn,
I wanted to let you know that we had a special prayer for you in Bible Study on Thursday morning. I have also joined another Bible Study for the Wrestling With God series that Chris Worthy is hosting in her home on Thursday afternoon. I also asked that group of four women to pray for you during your journey. You Know your sisters in Christ will be praying for you each day.
Love Carol McKinney

Have a safe and wonderful trip. You are almost there to hold your precious Olivia in your arms and to welcome her to her forever family.

Oh, I bet that was just so difficult! I know they will miss you terribly (even Ben ~LOL) but you will be back before they know it with their sweet baby sister!! Happy Flying!!

Dear Lynn,

You all are in my prayers. Enjoy every moment, take lots of pictures, and write down every thought. You will be glad you did so you can share them with Olivia when she gets older. She will have so many questions and she will be so excited by a journal about your trip to bring her home!!!!

Be safe! Love Roxanne

Lynn- It is so hard when the kids that are staying home cry. Logan cried when we were leaving and I felt horrible.
The two weeks will pass so quickly. I hope that you are able to call home. We used SKYPE.
I hope that your flight is pleasent and the plane empty- Enjoy!
can't wait to hear about GOTCHA Day
