Tick-Tock until Takeoff!

I'm done!  Yep, we are officially packed, it took Ryan 20 minutes and me 5 days, but we are done packing our bags for our journey.  So many things to think of since we need some clothes with us for our important meeting just in case our bags don't make it to us. But then there is the other factor of packing enough clothes for -7 degrees as the HIGH.  

My mom arrived yesterday and has already been a huge help watching the boys, cooking food, baking cookies, and watching me pack.  

Our ride comes tomorrow morning at 5am to take us to the airport.  We should be traveling until approximately 6pm Sunday night west coast time.  Please pray for us that night as we will be going directly to our meeting with an official then off to the orphanage to meet our baby girl.  Pray for peace for us and for her.  This will be a time of uncertainty and confusion for her, wanting to be held by complete strangers who don't speak her language.  We pray that even in the short time we are allowed with her she will start to understand that we love her.

Our next blog will be from Russia, so stay tuned!  We can't post pictures of us with her but we will give as much details as we can.

In His care,

Ryan and Amy
