I think we're in trouble. Drew was excited when he first saw Caroline's pictures but today the reality of how close a sister is has kicked in, BIG TIME. On the way to school this morning he asked how many days until Caroline comes home, and then before bed he announced that he was going to go "break her out of China." (Can you tell he's into superheroes?) Midday he came up with the idea that I would play Caroline and he would star as himself. He practiced his nurturing role--caring for me when I was sick (although he diagnosed my condition as wax in my ears) and feeding me (a combination of peanuts and canola oil--to which I protested). He also has claimed for himself a sweet picture of Caroline in a frame that my sister-in-law LouAnn gave me. He's snuggled up next to it in bed, and before he went to sleep told me that his favorite part about her was her face. I'm lucky he got in bed at all, earlier tonight he told me he wasn't going to sleep until she came home. I can't wait until she takes over her much beloved role in about eight weeks. We are all ready!

Good thing Drew is into super heros! Caroline is going to need a big brother's protection being that cute! :-)
We're praying for a speedy travel letter for you!

Congratulations to my colleague John, his wife Rohonda and their son Drew on the new addition of Caroline to their family. I know this is a long-awaited gift for all of you. May you have a most wonderful trip to China to "spring her" soon.
