Thanks everyone! Deeds--you are good! You got my Emily's birthday right!
Yes, Brandy, Jessica is coming with us. Our travel mates that we have already met are thrilled because she is like a little momma hen. She'll help out a lot keeping the babies entertained, I am sure!
The first time I mentioned this to her (about helping keep the girls busy) she said "Mom don't those people know I'm going there to pick up
my sister?!!" It was hysterical, but now she is excited about playing with all the babies. There is a 10 year old boy, 15 year old boy, and 5 year old girl also coming. I'm sure there could be more, but that's all I know of for sure. She's excited she'll have other kids to be with while we go throught official (boring!!) paperwork!
I think if a child is well behaved, travels well, etc...than people don't worry about older siblings coming. When we started thinking about it we got comments both pro & con, but with the kind of child Jess is I am sure it'll all be fine!
31 days & counting!!!
