We're in Kyiv

Today was a real marathon, but we got here!!! Erick was a real trooper throughout the entire trip. He is really a good traveler. We got to our flat about an hour and a half ago, and it is a great place to live for a couple of days. The biggest bonus was the lift. No carrying bags up 4 flights of stairs. Woo hoo! At this point in the game it doesn't take much to get me excited. We have a nice bakery/coffee shop downstairs in this building, and they even speak English. What more could we ask?!?! Tomorrow will be spent getting power of attorney forms notarized and getting with our facilitator and manager from our adoption people to go over details and get ready for Thursday.

I talked to Joel Ragains this evening and we are planning to get together in the next couple of days with him and Mary Ellen. That's always a blast, and we are thankful for God giving us a little lagniappe in what is already shaping up to be an incredible journey.

Thanks for your love and prayers!!!! We have felt them a ton in the last 24+ hours! Praise be to God for everything thus far. We are truly living in abundance!!!

We'll try to post some pictures tomorrow and put a little more detailed post, but for now it's bedtime for Bonzo!!!! (I'll let you guess who Bonzo is in our crew).
