Hello everyone, well it is 2:30 in the afternoon here and we have finished packing all our stuff! The flight doesn’t leave till 11:30 tomorrow night but we will check out of here at 10:00am tomorrow morning and go to Mary’s for the day until around 7:00pm. I just didn’t want to be scrambling around tomorrow morning so we got it done early. JP was so good…for a whole hour and a half he just played on the floor with toys and then he found the trash can and that kept him happy for quite a while…I think he was pretending to drive a car with it…he just held on to the rim and kept spinning it back and forth. We just spoke to the kids and now the next time I hear their voices it will be in person! I know I will be crying before I even make it off the plane. Sounds like we go back to our busy lives of watching our kids play sports! Brayden has 2 hockey games already this weekend! Believe me it will be a welcome change to the monotony we have endured while gone! I’m sorry…I need to stop complaining…good things have happened while here…the bonding…the milestones JP has achieved, and the neat people we have met. The best part of all though has been seeing God do what many have said would be impossible! That was so cool to be a part of. I just found out this morning that my friend who is also adopting from Rwanda just received her approval letter from the minister! YIPPEE! One more orphan about to get a family! Yes, there are millions of them but one child at a time is all we can do, right!
Here’s a blast from the past…the old TV show, ”Different Strokes” just came on. The other day, The Jeffersons came on and Brock and I started singing along to the theme song, then we laughed at how pathetic we were! Anyway…this may be my last email as we will be away from wireless internet as of tomorrow morning. So let me say now how grateful I am to have such a wonderful family of special people that care enough to share in this journey with us. You have all helped us through this past year by your prayers, your hugs, your financial support and all the encouraging emails and phone calls. I love you all and pray that you would know how much you are loved by us and by the ONE who burdened out hearts to begin this amazing adventure. Even though this feels like an ending, we know that it is only just the beginning….
