Today has crept by at a snails pace. We spent the day getting ready for Anna's arrival, we are so ready to have her here with us! We prepared the gifts for the caregivers at the orphanage, cleaned the apartment, did laundry, cooked up some vegetables so we can have them ready for when she gets hungry, set up her pack-n-play and took a final trip to the grocery store.
Most importantly we spent some time in prayer praising the Lord for bringing us to this day. There is no doubt He knew when she was being formed in the womb that she was going to be our little girl. We will never fully know all that He did to bring this little girl born in a small town in Siberia to our lives. But we know He ordained it from the beginning of time and His timing is perfect. We prayed that tomorrow will be easy on her, that she will be filled with peace from her Heavenly Father and know that we are here to love her. We prayed for her as she spends her last night in her room where she is comfortable with all her playmates, and we prayed earnestly for the little ones that are left behind, that someday they too will be going home.
We are amazed at God's blessings upon us. We are prayed up, praised up and geared up for tomorrow!
Rest assured, there will be many pictures of her sweet face posted as soon as she is in our arms!!

My heart is so joyful for the two of you and watching this journey slowly come to the end, yet only the beginning. We pray that the journey home will be safe and that Anna will find comfort in being with her mommy and daddy. I love you both and cannot wait to hear from you. By the time you read this she will be in your arms and that is very exciting. Love, Steff
