This will be our last post from the states! Although our day was kind of crazy, it was great! Luke and his team won their first ball game of the season. It was great to watch him playing out there again. It was also nice to be surrounded by great friends and well wishes.
Thank you Nancy Kay and family for the DS game for Luke. He loves it and hopefully will keep him busy on the long flights we have tomorrow. Thank you Pool family for the gazillion movies! They will be a God send when all of the TV we see is in Russian! Even more, thank you for the saints on the ring that will guide us and look over us on our journey. I will hold it in my pocket as a good luck charm every day. Thank you Paula and Clay for staying at the house and looking after my first daughters (dogs). They are in the best hands!
If all goes as we have hoped and prayed, this will be the last time in our home that we are a family of three. My stomach is a bundle of nerves but good nerves....like my wedding day. Think any of us will get any sleep tonight? Or for the next month for that matter! Ok, maybe the next 15 or so years if we are lucky! This is all so surreal!
Pray for us and the daughter that is supposed to be ours.

You said everything feels surreal. I get that. Becoming a parent can feel that way even when it just involves a trip to the local hospital. Traveling across the globe to become a parent is mind-blowing!
I hope you can absorb as much of this trip as possible. I hope it doesn't become a blur. Live in the moment. Expect highs and lows and be sure you share all the details with us!!
We love you.

By the time you read this you'll probably be in Kiev.
Wishing you all the best on this journey. Don't let the stress and emotions get to you. There will be times that it may feel overwhelming, but lean on each other and let God lead you through this.
We'll be praying for you!
