Happy New Year!

We loved receiving all of the beautiful Christmas cards of your families! So sorry we were not able to get cards out this year. We hope to get a newsletter/photograph out later in the year. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement; we feel so blessed to have such amazing friends who love us and lift us up in prayer to the Lord! We have felt those prayers.

We are earnestly preparing for our trip. There is so much to do and think about before we board that plane on the 10th. We feel that we are on schedule with everything, and are very excited about this next step in the journey. We are not certain of many things, but we are okay with that as well; we have learned to walk in faith with this adoption. So much is out of our control and one's nerves could certainly be shot if one expected quick answers.

Daron is feeling well. He is on a strict diet to help digestion. Continue to pray for his health as we enter Ukraine and eat traditional foods that may not bode will with his diet.

Our children are thrilled about the prospect of new siblings! Their rooms have been adjusted to fit one more, just in case : ) They will be staying with my sister and her family; what a blessing to have family in town!
