There is just something about warm clothes fresh from the dryer. They require a baby be in the basket with them, its just required.

We ago to get Amity and Luc from the plane next saturday. I will try to post before we go, but it is the last week before x-mas so it might not happen. In any case, I will post pics after x-mas for you all. Please excuse further lateness this holiday season, its a busy time for every one. We wish everyone a wonderful holiday. For those of you new to our site, don't miss the archive files, the earlier postings get filed in archives, they don't all show up on this page. Also our thoughts and a piece of our hearts go with Becky and Noah as they leave tomorrow to go back to Russia to get Kevin!! We hope they have a speedy trip and all goes well. And finally our thoughts go to all the children still without homes this holiday season and the homes waiting for children here. Russia has NOT allowed any agency to reaccredit yet and it may not until March. That means that Brayden and Daniel were the last ones allowed out of Omsk. The last referral out of Omsk was for Daniel the week after Brayden. That was in May, really brings home the length of the wait for others that have signed with agencies and haven't gotten any further. Also reminds us that we were told we might have to wait until the agency was reaccredited to finish the adoption, how glad we are that didn't happen. Those traveling now are independent and the Russian government has started a law to stop those too. We are thankful every day that we got things through when we did, grateful that we had help from Heaven to do it all. And everyday we pray for others that are waiting and pray that the country will open again and children will have homes with plenty. Merry Christmas to all, please remember to sign the guest book again and again and again. :-) Afterall, I sign on here every week or two...:-) Its fun for us to see who comes to check on us every so often. We are so glad for the support and love of family and friends.
