Waiting out the Ten Days

Hey Everyone! The internet connection in our room has been crummy, so I'm down by the front desk with a much better signal, but I will keep this short to conserve internet time. We're doing great! We can't wait for the ten days to be up. They should be up on September 4th and we'll have both boys with us at the hotel. Yesterday we were able to have both of them together for a visit at our youngest boy's baby home. We had a blast and got a good taste of what we'll be experiencing when we have both boys with us. Our youngest is full of energy and keeps us running around almost constantly, while the older is a bit more reserved, but still a lot of fun. Yesterday was the first time the boys have seen each other in over a year. They had a joyous reunion and will be together for the long haul very soon. Well, we just wanted to say hello and give a brief report. We'll post again when we can. With the bad signal in our room, we may not post often, but know that we're fine and having a wonderful time here in Vlad. God's blessings to you all!

Joel, Clarion & the boys

We are so excited that the boys were so happy to see each other and be together, if only for a brief time. It won't be long and you will all be together for good!
God's blessing on the rest of your stay.
We love you,
Dad and Mom

Rest up you two!
The busiest part of your trip, and your life, is still ahead.
What a grand reunion for the brothers to be reunited again! It warms the heart to know you will all be together soon, and will certainly be much easier to bond when you reach your home turf. What a treat the boys have in store for them when they arrive home in St Louis!
Enjoy those boys and the rest of your stay in Russia.

God bless you... every one!

Hugs & kisses,
Aunt Jan & Uncle Eddie

Yeah! Loved reading all the great news. Glad you have this blog. You are in our prayers, always! Abby says "Amen!" with gusto at the end of prayers and also likes talking to her Jesus book. Our favorite was the other day when she said, "I found Jesus!"
Can't wait for you guys to have all of these funny kid stories. It is the best.

How exciting. How difficult for these boys to be separated for so long. I'm so thankful they've found a wonderful home where they will always be able to stay together. I'm glad your time in Vlad is going well. Looking forward to hearing more about your adventures once the boys are with you at the Inn.

Many Blessings!!
