We Leave Tomorrow!

These are some of my sweet friends and family who celebrated and prayed with me as a little "send off" party. They also donated gifts I am taking to the orphanage. What a blessing!

I can hardly believe it...in two days we will get to meet our little girlie! I am going to have to hold myself back from just running over and squeezing her! Man, what in the world will she be thinking when she meets us? I pray so much that we'll make her smile. Her sad little world will be full of happy silly-ness soon! I have all these fun things to play with her when we get there. I've tried to think of all the senses. Oh, pray that she just has fun with us. And, gosh, at three-and-a-half she might remember this moment forever. Just amazing.

So, I'm all packed and ready to head out tomorrow morning! But, oh my goodness, I am going to miss my sweet kids at home. That is the only part that really makes me sad. I praise the Lord for Skype! Hopefully all goes well, and the WiFi is up and running at our hotel! At this point our kids are not sad. They are excited for their grandparents to spend the night with them! Hopefully that excitement lasts all week.

The next time I post it will be from Russia! Pray for safe travel and for our connecting flights. Chat with you soon!
