Joel will leave tonight on an overnight train to Kiev. Tomorrow he will go to the US Embassy to sign some paperwork. Then he will leave early Friday morning. We had him re-routed so he is scheduled to arrive in Jacksonville just hours before the boys get there with Grandpa. Praise God!!!
Since the 10 day wait period is up on a weekend, I won't officially be able to get Darya until a Monday. I'm waiting to hear an estimate of how long the passport takes here so I can schedule my sister's flight out here. I am so thankful and looking forward to her coming to help me bring our adorable, sweet, and spunky 2 year old daughter home!
Yeah, You!!! What a momentous day:) So excited and thrilled for you. Can't wait to see Darya with her brothers soon!!!
