Toronto, Canada

Hello from Canada - so far so good!! We had a nice flight on a small plane and are now sitting around the airport waiting for our flight to Beijing. We just got done surprising our oldest with his early birthday present!!! For the last month, he has been making it very clear that he desperately wanted an I-touch for his 14th birthday. We just kept telling him that it was just not in the budget with the adoption and behind the scenes we had already been discussing getting one for him for the trip - for all the sitting around while we fill out paperwork, etc. Anyway, we had him convinced he was just not going to get one. It has been a real game for Cali & I, so we came up with a plan on how to catch him off guard. We decided that we would give it to him at the airport here in Toronto, so if he was thinking that we might surprise him when we left on the trip, it would throw him off our trail. Anyway, Cali had it in his backpack and we played it off like we were doing something with the camera and asked him to get a cord out of Cali's backpack for him and then Calixto unzipped the bag and saw the I-touch and was totally in disbelief!! It was so fun to bless him!! He is loving playing with it!! We are loving watching him really enjoy his one and only birthday present!! :0D WE are really looking forward to spending this special time with our first born son and our first born daughter! :0D Still can't believe it!!!
We will try to download the video of the surprise and post it later!!
Thanks for all the prayers that are coming our way, we can feel the blessings just surrounding us!!
xoxo,
