Final Dates

It has been a crazy busy week. We got tentative date for our third and final trip. They are not set in stone until after court. We will leave again on 4/19 (yes that is one week from when we return, ouch) for St. Petersburg. We will have paperwork to do and will pick up the boys on 4/24/09. We will then travel to Moscow where we have to go to the US Embassy and procure visa's and passports. Then we should be able to head home with the boys on 4/29!! Wow it seems surreal and I still find myself holding my breath at every turn. We are working on the logistics of traveling with a 2 year old and 3 year old. Let alone two who we can barely communicate with. We are trying to learn as many Russian words as possible to help ease the transition. Jeff is working like mad trying to keep the farm on track and I am trying to wrap up as many projects as possible at work before we leave. We will keep you updated as we go. Thanks for the kind words and support. God is Good. J&J

COURT DATE AT LAST.....

Yes, we finally have a court date. We will leave for St. Petersburg on 4/7 and go to Court on 4/10. We will get to visit the boys one day before court and then we head home on 4/11. We are so excited. We also had other news last week. They closed Blake's orphanage and we were able to find out (after several tense days) that the boys are now in the same orphanage. Yeah!! We are hoping they will have a little time together before becoming brothers for life. God is so good to us and we trust he will continue to guide this adventure and bring our boys home safely. Keep the prayers coming. J&J

Update...

Hello all,
I just wanted to take a few minutes and update everyone. We sent in the rest of the remaining documents last Friday so we are just in the waiting process for a Court Date. We can't wait to bring our boys home and are in the process of putting their room together. We will keep you updated as to when our next trip will be.
Sydney is doing so great in school the last four weeks and we are so proud of her. Branagh is camping this weekend with a friend in Virginia. Devon continues to run the house and amazes us everyday. I will try and post some new pictures of the girls. Health and happiness to all........

Home...

Hello all from Delaware. Thanks to everyone for all your support. We understand the website had some difficulties that made it impossible to post comments. We are just glad you were all able to see our posts. We had a very exciting trip although we are both exhausted. We are slowly readjusting to time etc. Last night was the first night in a week that we both slept through the night so we are feeling lots better today. I have posted some new pictures. Thanks again for all your love and support as we continue on this journey. We will now wait for a court date which should be 6-8 weeks from now. We will continue to update the blog as we have more info. XXOO J&J
