Homeward Journey Begins Today!!

Good morning to you all!!  Today is the day....I can hardly wait : )  Aimee and I are spending the morning packing up and then we will have one more lunch here at McDonald's.  We get picked up around 1:30 pm and load up all of our luggage.  Then we head to orphanage to get Julia and Aaron.  Once we are all dressed and ready to go, we head straight to the train station.  The train leaves at 4:25 pm.  This is the 6 hour express train.  It will obviously be late by the time we get settled in and we won't have internet from the time we leave this apartment until we arrive.  So please be patient with pictures and updates.  We are spending Tuesday at the embassy.  Hopefully we will have some time to upload pictures before we fly home on Wednesday.  Keep the prayers coming that we have an uneventful next few days.....
