Siberia Bound

Well, it has been a whirlwind since we accepted our referral.  We have been frantically working on our paperwork that is needed for trip #2 since we were told we may be able to cut some time between trips if we complete as much paperwork as possible to bring on trip #1.  

On Friday we received our itinerary for our trip and we leave on Saturday, yes, in 6 days!!  We mobilized quickly and booked our air travel and reinforcements (Amy's Mom) to take care of the boys.  We are so blessed that we were able to cover our complete flight to Krasnoyarsk and back with airline miles and our friends (Pilot) donated the flight for Amy's Mom...thanks Jeremy and Danielle!!!

We leave on Saturday and after 19 hours (over 3 days) in the air will FINALLY get to meet our little girl!  We are so completely excited to spend even just a few hours with her NEXT WEEK!  We return on Friday, the 12th.

We hope to post more during our trip, so check back!

Are you kidding? I guess we knew it would be soon, but -- holy fast-paced plans, Batman! Praise the Lord! What a fantastic early Christmas present -- to touch the face of your daughter! Please, please let your mom know how to reach us if she and the boys need anything!

I just got so excited reading this post!! It brought tears to my eyes, knowing you'll get to see your little girl in just a few short days. We'll be praying for you all! This particular journey is almost at its end, and then you'll get to start a whole new journey with your two amazing boys and their sweet little sister!
