7 days and counting.......YIKES!!!
Yea we are in the final countdown. We are stuck somewhere between really excited and scared Sh**less. We are so excited to meet the boys but so scared of all the unknowns. We are reassured that people actually do return alive from their first trip and return several more times to bring the kids home. So I am assuming we too will survive. Did not get the final paperwork off this week as we had hoped but that is OK. I will get it out this week. Our FBI clearance came back already so that is reassuring (you never really know what lurks in peoples closets). The girls had a good week this week and we are hopeful that Syd is back on a good path. (She had the impression that homework was optional, needless to say that is no longer the case). B had a great report card so we are tickled with her. SHe has had a lot of "chaos" in her classroom this year but all seems to be settling down now. Devon, is truely acting like a 2 year old. I keep reminding Jeff that this is why God makes babies sooo cute. I will update again before we leave next Sunday. Have a great Valentine's Day (ugggg)!

    The first trip is exciting and scary. But It will be the coolest trip you've ever been on!

  4. Great pic of Jeff and Syd and Branagh. You're going to need a wide angle lens for the family photos soon. Travel safe and try to enjoy the culture without fear. You'll be just fine. Love you. Jen

  5. WOW isn't Jodi amazing!!! Glad I married her. I am not allowed to post any updates, she is in control of the blog site. Pretty much she in total control. She has not given herself any credit on the book she has created. The book of paperwork now is 11 inches thick. Jodi has made sure that all he T's are crossed and I's are dotted. She is on top of things and has spent many countless hours making this a reality. I am a lucky man in many ways.
