Stay off the road!!!!

Just a warning to those living close to us... the Zakman has his permit! Took him a week or so ago. After looking at this picture I'm not sure if I did the right thing by taking him to get it. I think he's being a leadfoot here and enjoying it too. What have I gotten myself into!!! Maybe Grandpa Ray will let him do some driving while we are gone so he'll be a little prepared for Drivers Ed. this fall.
(Hint, hint, hint. ;-)

Four 1/2 more days until we leave, or as many China adoptive families say five more sleeps. (Sleep? What's that?) Today we received our plane tickets and the offical travel approval letter that we have to take with us to China. (Sorry Christina, that was what FedEx was bringing when I had to hang up. I knew you would forgive me.) The TA letter has her picture on it. By the looks of it, she was just a toddler baby when it was taken. I was sooooo hoping one of the packages would also have her original paperwork and referral pictures, but I did find out that it was mailed today. I sure hope it gets here by Friday. It is amazing how fast the sands of time seem to be sifting away from us. We were trying to decide if we should take the boys to Mom's on Friday. I don't want to take them any sooner than I have to. (Isn't that crazy, especially since I'm talking about teenagers! And teenage boys for that matter!!!) I think we'll just have them all packed up on Friday and Grandma & Grandpa can get them at the airport Saturday. Oh, that's going to be a hard day. ...leaving my babies, even if one has his drivers permit now.
