Last entry from the U.S. for awhile

Just wanted to let you all know that we will do our best to keep you updated in Vlad. We are busy working on all of the last minute details and spending as much time with Brady and Maddie as we can. Our passports with our visas arrived yesterday. That was a huge relief! We are so overwhelmed with what lies ahead and we are very grateful for the support we are getting from so many people. We are hoping that when we are not running in circles we can properly thank everyone. There are many people helping us in so many ways. I won’t even try to name everyone, but we do want to thank our parents. We appreciate that you are there to help make life as ‘normal’ as possible for Brady and Maddie. For those that donated to the baby home, we are hoping to get some pictures to send to you with a thank you note when we return. For all of our blogger/email friends who have helped in so many ways we are forever grateful. And especially we want to thank Brady and Madison for being so understanding and having so much love in their heart for Blake! We are broken hearted about leaving them but are amazed at how giving and unselfish they are at such young ages.

We will spend tomorrow with family and finishing all last minute details. On Easter Sunday, we will leave home at 6:45 a.m. to head to the airport. We are praying for uneventful travels! There have been many people ask if there is anything specific we would like them to pray for. We feel so blessed already and have been praising God for making so many things possible for us. Our prayer requests are for patience and peace for Brady and Madison and for a smooth transition for Blake.

Until next time….

Dasvidania (Goodbye)
