Need I say More...


Leah is enjoying all of her souvenirs.  She won't take the blue shoe coverings off!  Who would have thought?  I guess that is the only thing she requested for us to bring back for her...ha!  She plays with her Matryoshka dolls a lot too, she loves taking them apart to find the little baby chick at the end.

Anyway, I keep finding myself daydreaming about all 3 of our children wrestling in the front room, rolling in the leaves in the front yard, and playing at the park.  It's going to feel so good to have them all home.  When I was in Ukraine I kept thinking of the girls and now that I'm home I find myself waking up at night thinking of Blake, so my mind will hopefully rest a little once we are all under the same roof.  Hopefully 3 weeks from today we will be living out my daydream.  Ahhhh!  Makes me smile.

I just made our travel plans for next Tuesday to head back...dreading the flight so much.  Ugh.  We plan to be in Ukraine a little over a week before we arrive home with Blake.  Right now it looks like we'll land in Wichita on Thanksgiving day...but who knows...the world of adoption is never predictable...so much so I'm almost afraid to type this! Haha.  But, I would LOVE to land on Thanksgiving Day because of the symbolism this day carries at the end of this journey.

  4. Thanks for the update - I must have missed the one when you arrived home. Praying for a Thanksgiving arrival, but all in God's timing. Can't wait to meet your little guy sometime in the future!
