A big week of preparation

This has been one incredible week of preparation. It started with an angel from next door (our neighbor, Margie) who went clothes shopping for Shen. She came back with a stash of stuff that I will be taking to China. The fun part is that she got Shen a Chicago Bears warm-up suit so, picture this: A little 3-1/2 year-old getting off a big plane after about 26 hours of flying, wearing a Chicago Bears track suit.
Jodie has been incredibly busy! She put together some packets that our family and extended family are going to be receiving. The purpose is to prepare you for being in Shen's life. She also set up Shen's first Pediatrician appointment for the week he is back and she had a conversation with the school district so we can get assessment information. The one thing we want to do for Shen is help him get started off on the right foot. And, finally, we have discovered that there is an international adoption play group for children between 2 and 6 that is only about 5 miles from us.
We feel so blessed in this entire journey!!!
