Surreal

All the bags are packed...........I think. What a change it will be to pack and be responsible for FOUR now. I think that's a little bit of an understatement :)
Well we're sitting here for a moment----enjoying a 1:30 snack---and going over everything. It's nothing how I envisioned. We've waited so long and every now and then I would think of these glorious home comings, and now we're throwing stuff together in a suitcase and rushing out the door. I know I'm forgetting something...........or forgetting a way to make it special for our little ones. But our hearts are ready. We're ready to be our family. We're ready to experience life with Samar and Manuel. We can't wait to see you, precious ones. Soon............

I am so excited for you! Take lots of pictures!
It is going to be special! It might not be how you thought it would be, but it is YOUR precious story. You all are going to be able to smile about this story for years to come!

Yippee!! We're so happy for you all and can't wait to meet the newest Brinks'. Enjoy the time, as Sonya said, it's not exactly how you had planned but God is so much bigger and greater than our plans. Trust all will go well!
