A Little More Time...

I know everyone is dying for pics. Yesterday was the first day that I felt like a normal human being. I have not had the energy at night to even start going through my pics. I am very anal and will not post them without going through them first and weeding out the bad ones. Sorry, it is my profession... :-) Angelina is doing great and fitting right in with our family. I need a couple more days to gather my thoughts and figure my emotions out. I feel like there is a tornado in my head... I will be back soon... promise!

We are HOME!!!

We got home yesterday morning... I was in a fog all of yesterday and went to bed at 7pm. That is unheard of for me. I will be in bed by 9:30 tonight. The kids start school tomorrow, so it will just be Jonas, Luca, and Angelina here. Jonas starts on Wednesday and Luca does not start until September 7. Angelina will start in a few weeks or so... we will follow her lead. I will take her to school tomorrow to finish up anything for her IEP meeting... I am just getting all of my pics downloaded to the mac, so bare with me. I will leave you with a family pic that was on Ryan's computer...

See you soon...

A message from Rebekah...

Rebekah and Ryan got to Guangzhou yesterday with Angelina and out of all the cities they have been to so far it is their favorite. They are having a great time but because China blocks a lot of internet sites they can't share everything with you yet because they can't get onto email, facebook or their blog. She has been able to talk to the kids through skype and they are all super anxious for Mom and Dad to come home with their new sister. Missy, Rebekah's sister, is here today and Luca especially is in 7th heaven. They are at the park playing and Jonas is taking a nap. Rebekah's parents are coming tomorrow for pizza- should be fun! Not a dull moment in the house of the Hubleys :)
Anna

Meanwhile...

While Rebekah and Ryan are in China getting their beautiful and long-awaited daughter (finally!), Jane and I have been chilling with the rest of the Hubley clan. It's been crazy fun- we started out by going to MI for 3 days for the annual GLA reunion where the kids got to play with friends from all over the states, and even from different countries! We went to a potluck, a reunion, play-world, a park, the pool, and the beach all in 2 days... and the kids were troopers the whole trip. On the way back to Indy today we stopped at the beach in South Haven where Jane's family was staying and took a few planned pics (featured below). Unfortunately it was cold- so we didn't do any swimming as we had hoped, just some wave-chasing and rock-finding. We are happy to be back in the familiarity our temporary home and the kids were so ready to get home by the end of our road trip. It was the perfect time away to distract the kids from Mom and Dad leaving... but Jonas especially was ready to get back. Got some pics of the temporary fam- these are for Rebekah and Ryan ;)










We are getting a glimpse into life with 4 kids, and having fun every day while trying to make the kids forget that mom and dad are missing... these aren't easy shoes to fill but it sure is fun trying! The kids are so excited talking about mom and dad and their new sister coming home!

Stuck...

We are stuck in LAX for the night. Delta flight get here too late and then we puttzed around and did not taxi to the gate. So we are upgraded to first class and we will now fly to Beijing through Tokyo... :-) Hopefully soon I am sleeping in a bed...

Indy...

Sitting in Indy waiting on our flight to board... Next stop, LAX... :-)

Less Than 24 hrs...

Okay, we are under 24 hours now... :-) We leave tomorrow for Indy about 3-3:30pm. I have to go and register all of the kids for school in the morning... The schools would not let me do it early.

The kids are with Anna and Jane up in MI at a GLA gathering and all are asleep. Thanks girls for being sooooooooooo amazing with my kids! It means sooooooo much!

Okay, off to finish packing.... Ahhh, I hate the night before a trip.

I will leave you with some new pics that just came in an e-mail tonight.

Less Than 48 hrs...

That's right, in less than 48 hrs., we will be leaving for China. I promise that I will be updating daily and our sitters are going to high jack the blog and put updates up for us from the home front. So many posts, you won't know what to do... Stay tuned... :-) I am off to pack the kids. They leave tomorrow with Anna and Jane up to MI to go to the GLA adoption gathering. It is a big one this year with all of the kiddos home from the earthquake. I am so bummed that we will not be there, but we are so excited to be going to China to get Angelina....

Maybe I will update tomorrow, or maybe in China... You will just have to check back to see... :-)

Thanks in advance for your prayers...
