We're on our way!

It's hard to believe that the time has finally come to go to Kazakhstan and bring a little one into our family. Going from being a "2" to a "3" still seems amazing and miraculous to us (not to mention exciting and terrifying), and we feel so blessed and fortunate to be on this journey.


We've marked the occasion with our last Mexican meal for quite some time, and after three days solid of packing, think we're ready!

We appreciate all of your well-wishes, notes and gifts - and most importantly, your love and your prayers. We know we're not taking this journey alone, and we look forward to sharing this story with you, page by page.

Our posts will now come more frequently, and we appreciate your comments, as it helps us stay connected to all of you. So, bye for now, and next time you hear from us, we'll be typing with a Russian accent!

We have dates!

Our official travel dates have been issued and the tickets have just been purchased! We will leave on Tuesday, September 30, with a return date of Thursday, November 27. It is possible that the return date will change to an earlier date, but we won't know until we're over there and closer to the end of the process.

This is an exciting step - thanks as always for your love and support.
