When?

I am still trying to get used to the fact that we have our LOA and are heading toward the final steps before we can travel. I can't tell you how anxious I am to get that little girl and feed her! The travel guy thinks we should travel 10 - 12 weeks from our LOA. That has us leaving between September 9th & 23rd. If we are very lucky and we leave the 16th we can make it in time for Abbie's 5th birthday and arrive home before Ellie's 3rd birthday. The 23rd would be too late for Abbie's birthday, but we could still be home for Ellie's. There is a national holiday from September 10th - 12th so that week is probably out anyway. I actually thought the earliest we would leave would be early October. Don't get me wrong, this also has me very excited!! I will add a disclaimer, though. The other two adoptions had us leaving much later than the estimates so that could very well happen again!
