A-minus 6 days. A week from today is our appointment at the SDA. We spent today packing up and getting things ready as we leave tomorrow. We got everything we planned to take into one backpack each, one carry on each, plus one huge duffle bag of 75 pairs or DAWGS kids shoes, and other stuff for the orphanage. It's been a few years since we last traveled internationally, so we had to remind ourselves of what we really needed for this trip, verses what would be nice to have. So that meant limiting the clothes we are taking, pouring shampoo and soap into smaller bottles, and going over the medications twice to make sure we had everything we needed---for us and the children. With the commotion around the kitchen island getting the bags packed, the cats could sense there was something going on. And they even slept on one of the bags. Should we just pack them up with us!
Thanks to everyone for vistis, emails and phone calls, sending us prayers and good wishes for our journey ahead. We really appreciate all your support and encourage during this time in our lives. We also want to thank everyone who's helped us to get ready for this adoption----everything from doing translations, finishing the deck, "kiddifying the house", cleaning the house, designing our blog banner, driving us to the airport.....and so much more!
We been wating for this day to come for so many years, that it's hard to believe its finally here. "Pa Pa" for now (Ukrainian for "bye bye") and we'll be in touch again from Frankfurt & Kyiv. We love to read your posts on our blog.

So excited for you - praying that all goes well with your travels and with your SDA appointment!
It was a great idea to create this blog. Instead of waiting for four of you to come back, we will be traveling along with you.
God bless you!
