Birthday Wishes

Little "Edward", know that our thoughts are constantly with you and your sister "Elizabeth". Please know that Friday was the last time you'll spend a birthday without a family that loves you and cherishes everything about you. Aunt Mary actually called Friday morning because she was thinking of you as well. There are so many people here waiting to be a part of both of your lives, so many blessings we can't wait to share, your Mom and I can hardly contain ourselves. Justin and Jacob are just as excited, their sense of humor and the way they enjoy life is infectious and they can't wait to have a little brother and sister to share it (and conspire) with.

We should have all the documents that we had to update (7 total) back this week from being Apostilled. Then, they're off to Kostya, hopefully the last Fedex we need to send to him. Please pray for him as he is truly doing God's work, spending so much time away from his own family enabling other families to "grow".

We have 5 weeks til we go back. It will be a busy time as we get their room ready, the boys start football, and we'll be getting them ready for school for when we're gone. Some new pictures have been added and, as always, we thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers. Til next time...JJjj
