Welcome to our first blog ever! We are so excited about our upcoming trip to China to adopt our new son, James Maddox Pirkle. He will be 2 years old on April 7, 2009, so we will be getting him just before he turns 23 months.
After we announced our travel dates, all we seemed to hear from our friends was "Do you have a blog?" And, while we do consider ourselves somewhat technically savvy, I had to say, "No, we don't." But, after some encouragement and instruction from our good friend Kris Street, here we are.
Right now we are frantically packing and trying to make sure we have all the important documents we need to take to China. We fly out Saturday morning at 0640 Nashville time.
I want to say thank you to all of you who are reading this and who have supported us through this long journey. We welcome and give thanks for all of your prayers. Without the strength and blessing of the Lord, none of this would be possible.
Well, I am off to continue packing. More to come including our itinerary. JP
