Submission Accomplished!

We have confirmation that our dossier has been submitted. Now once again, we wait... Within a three week period we should know if we get travel dates. In the meantime, I have been reading other blogs and seeing travel dates within one week of submission and then traveling within six weeks! Please keep praying God will open those doors as soon as possible.

It is a very exciting time right now. It is also time to get serious about all the things we need to prepare for. I think Kevin is more in a nesting mode than me. He keeps wanting to remodel! We are waiting prepare the kids rooms until we get word we are actually going. I wanted to start months ago but Kevin didn't think it was wise to invest in bedroom furniture we might not actually need....he is so practical!

The time should go by fast. School starts on Monday. We will begin our routine again to fill our time. We are starting early this year to make up for the time we will lose while in Ukraine. Another prayer request would be, that we can take Garrett and Morgan with us. If anyone has experience with this, any input would be helpful. They are 12 and 10 years old. I think it would be a great life experience for them and helpful in bonding with their new siblings.
