Testing...123...is this thing on?

Alright folks...here we go...our first attempt at "the blog". C and I leave a week from today for Thailand. As most of you know, we are spending the first 5 nights on the beach in southern Thailand to rest and relax. 5 days and nights to renew the body and spirit and recouperate from crazy work schedules and full-time parenting. Then it is on to Bangkok...the real reason for our trip...to meet and eventually bring home, the newest member of our family, M! Everyone keeps asking me, "Are you ready?" and I have a hard time answering that question. Her room is only half painted, she still doesn't have a dresser, gifts still need to be bought for her social workers, and there is still so much to be done in order to leave our boys home with their grandparents for two long weeks. However, I am so very ready to finally meet her, bring her home to her brothers, and be her Mommy.

Cheers!

Amy

Aim,

What's the time difference where you are, compared to ET?

And what do Thai people eat for breakfast?
