On Our Way Home!

In just a few hours, we'll be boarding a plane in Moscow and heading home to the USA! We are ready to come home and anxious to get to work on the rest of our paper work to adopt Yulia and Gena.

We will be staying in Dallas-Fort Worth over-night on Wednesday and return to LA on Thursday afternoon. Assuming we will have MAJOR jet lag, we'll be out of commission on Friday and back amongst the living on Saturday (hope-hope).

We have had a wonderful time! The highlight was being with Gena and Yulia, of course, but we have also enjoyed spending time with our best friends, the Clarks, are their three new daughters. We have learned a lot about Russia and this adoption process, thanks to their adoption of Lyndsay, Haley and Amanda. When we come back to Russia, hopefully in October or sooner, we will be able to navigate the Russian system more easily and bring our kids home to America as soon as possible.

We have felt your prayers, and appreciate your continued prayers as we return to America and work to complete this process that God has called us to. We have a lot of work to do. Thank you, all of you, for standing with us. Our prayers are for God's blessings to touch you even more than they have us (if that is possible!). We have a lot of pictures, which we will put up on our website after we get home, and much to tell you. I (Glen) have a sermon to prepare for this Sunday, and I have a feeling Russia will enter into it! I have a feeling that Russia will be entering into a LOT of our life for quite some time!

We want to thank the people who have watched Nathan while we have been in Russia. Jack and Sonni Cranford have kept him at their house at night and many days as well. Janet and Miles Harlan have entertained him in the afternoons and evenings. Michelle Higgs has also kept him on some afternoons, and Aunt Beth and Uncle Frank had him the first weekend. Thank you all. We miss Nathan so much and have so much to share with him as well!

We love you!

Glen and Cyndy
