Tomorrow is "Gotcha Day"!!!

Hey Everyone,

Yes, two blogs in one day! I guess we owe you since we haven't blogged in awhile :)

(just for the record, the food has been fine here, but we would not compare it to home)

We just wanted to let everyone know that we get to pick up the kids tomorrow at the orphanage! In the adoption world lingo we call it "gotcha day"!

We have their clothes all ready to go just like newborns we're bringing home from the hospital. The only difference is that Dave had to go through as much of the labor as I did!!! Yet another reason to adopt girlfriends!!

I believe we're going to first say goodbye with Zhenya and her group and teachers and office ladies then we'll go over to Alyosha's building. His class is going to do a small program for us and then we'll say goodbye to his class and teachers and be on our way! I think it's going to be harder for Dave and I saying goodbye tomorrow than it is going to be on the kids because they're excited and maybe don't quite get how far away they are going and how different their life is going to be.

There are going to be so many new things they are going to be experiencing in the next few weeks and then at home it's going to be an interesting time for all of us!

I hope we can sleep tonight! I know we'll need it!!

Love you all and we can never thank you enough for praying and caring for us and our family.
