Packed and Ready to Go!

This past week was crazy, but a great week.  We had family from out of town with us for a few days to celebrate our good news.  By Monday afternoon we had our visas ordered and our flight itinerary in the works. The flights were booked by Tuesday.  Our visas arrived Friday.  We've double, even triple-checked all of our documents and we're 99.9% certain that everything is in order.  We finished packing today and might be a couple pounds over the limit, but we'll see. We'll be heading to the airport bright and early tomorrow and we'll be on our way.  Thanks for all of your prayers!  May God bless all of you who are waiting!  We're especially praying for Cindy as we head out.  We're praying that she gets her court date this week and can join us during part of our stay in Vlad.  Our next post should be from Moscow!  After a brief stay there we'll be on our way to Vlad and to see our boys!  We can't wait!

In Christ,

Joel & Clarion

Joel and Clarion,

I too, cannot wait to see pictures posted of your new family and I pray I get to see those sweet boys in person in Vlad. I embrace that this is in God's hands for me and when the timing is right, it will happen. (Let's hope it IS this week.) Have a wonderful, safe trip. Talk to you SOON.
