Wow! 36 hours... that is really hard to believe. We have waited so long and now the hour is almost upon us. I have to say our stress level is pretty moderate at this point. By God's grace through many friends & family, we have had the most amazing help! Dinners, laundry (previously mentioned, my dear m-i-l is excited about the mileage she is getting out of the laundry gesture, but let me tell you, it was HUGE!!!), housecleaning, curtain-making, it really has been humbling. We are so grateful. Although, Kade is getting used to it really quick! He asked when we picked him up from his grandparents today, "So, who's bringing dinner tonight and what are we having?" He cracks me up!
In regards to packing and the like, we are in pretty good shape. Our bags are packed. We are just double checking our lists and re-packing our carryons to make sure we have everything we need. The house is clean (thanks, Tina) and we hired a crew to come remove the deck from our back yard today so that when we get back we can level it, sod it and make it a little more kid friendly back there. We feel soooo productive today. We had our last trip to Wal-Mart and Target, got the car cleaned out, changed the sheets on our bed, remembered that I needed socks packed, and even devised a plan to bring back (hopefully) some Ukranian eggs without breaking them.
I know I have said it before, but thank you for your prayers. Through God, we are being sustained by them.
love ya!
Kayla :)
PS: Hoping to see those sweet little faces in 6 days!

Hello sweet friends! I just wanted to send you a comment before you actually leave, b/c I know it will be a while until you can probably check online while traveling. We want you to know without a doubt how very much we love you, how very happy and excited we are for you, and most importantly, how very much we are praying for you!!!! May God bless you with peace, patience, joy, laughter, fun, excitement, comfort, and more love than you ever imagined possible! We are praying that God will cover all the details and that all will go smoothly. Of course, we are praying especially for the hearts of your children - that they will be open and ready to receive your love and the love of God through you. Kade, John David is especially praying for you! He thinks you're the best! :) With love and continued prayers, the Muses
That was such a wonderful prayer offering today. I was so touched. Tears of joy and thankfulness were flowing so profusely that I could not even speak but others there were praying wonderful words for me. What a blessing! I am so glad we will be able to keep in touch in this way . Thank you for helping make this possible for me. I love you so much. Mom G-ma!
