This is it!

This is our last day at home!!!  I'll be running around all day like a chicken with it's head...well, you know. :-)  My next post will be from the capital city in Jonathan's country!  So exciting, although this really has NOT sunk in yet.  I guess it will when everything is all in Russian. LOL

Please pray for us!  I hope to get a tab posted at the top for prayer requests - probably when I get over there.  But in the meantime, here's a quick random list of prayer requests w/ poor formatting and grammar...sorry, no time to make it look pretty.

- that each of children would have the peace that surpasses all understanding as their parents are thousands miles away - esp for Elijah and Rachel who won't understand where Mama and Dada have gone and that they will all settle in ok.
- strength and endurance for each of the caregivers
- protection from injury and illness for each of the kids, the caregivers, and Pat and I
- smooth, uneventful travels
- SDA appt that glorifies the Lord and that we may pick up our referral that same day - rarely happens, but we can pray. It would save us a few days before court if we can start the paperwork before the weekend, plus meet Jonathan a few days earlier!
- that Pat and I would get reconnected, not succumb to the stress, and enjoy the time together as a 3rd honeymoom (2nd one was in EE in Dec. :-))
- Please pray I get done today what I need to get done.  And the kids have speeches at 4H tonight and I'm supposed to bring snack - won't be homemade, I'll tell you that. Ya, never thought we'd be leaving the next day for EE when we signed up back in Oct/Nov. HA!  In fact, we purposely signed up later in the year so we could make sure Elijah was home b/c Anna wants to do her speech about him. Funny, huh?  Oh me of little faith!

Ok, TONS to do...like get Elijah dressed. Love Baby Signing Times. He may be watching a lot of that today...

Thanks to everyone for your love and support and most importantly, your prayers!!! Love to you all!
