2nd Trip Dates!!!

Well, we received our court date on Tuesday............it's September 27th and we have to be there no later than the evening of the 25th.

I decided not to post until I had the travel plans set up. So here they are:

We leave on the afternoon of the 21st (I'm taking 1/2 day off) and getting to Moscow the 22nd. Originally we'd planned on touring Moscow after we had Isabelle, but we have since come to our senses............and figured that a 1 yr old girl, new to us and ALL of her surroundings, might be a little cranky. Plus she would also require naps/feeding times............so won't be able to gather cultural information for Isabelle once we have her..................AND we probably won't be going back ANYTIME soon (probably not ever)............so we need to get this type of information for her now, so that when she asks about where she's from, we'll be able to answer her.

ANYWAY!!!! Back to the itinerary.......

All this, plus I am returning to work on the 1st.......so that I can work as many days as I can before we bring her home!!! :):):)

Prayer requests:

1. Please continue to pray for her health and her transition with all that will be new.
2. Please continue to pray for our finances. That Gary will get a job. I will not be paid for about 9.5 weeks this year (being out for maternity -- bonding time and then again for her surgery time).......God is going to have to do something supernatural for us. We need to be able to pay bills and pay for our bare essentials as well.
3. Please pray that our travel will be more smooth this time. Last trip I came back in a lot of pain, and we moved to a different hotel each night. That's another reason for staying in Moscow and catching our breath before taking the next flights.

Thank you again so much for all of your prayers!!!!

From one Samara Momma to anther enjoy your trip and if you are doing your medicals in Samara dont worry they are no big deal. If the judge is the red haired lady she is real nice.

Good luck

Terri,
I am so glad that everything is moving right along to receiving your precious Isabelle! What joy you have before you.

It's a little ironic that we will be receiving our children about the same time. We are scheduled to receive Zachary on about the 10th. So I will be sharing your joy with you!

Blessings on your second journey!
