Well, after having a private blog for so long, I've decided to go public, or at least try it! Court is over and all we are waiting for is for my men to come HOME!!!
I've removed pictures of the other kids in the orphanage now that I'm public, but if you see one that I missed, please let me know so I can remove it.
I can't access my blog these days for some reason, but I can post... at least, I THINK I can - I can't see my blog to check it!!
Mark and Erik are taking the overnight train from Kramatorsk to Kiev tonight, then Monday and Tuesday they'll finish up at the Embassy and we'll pick them up in Orlando Wednesday evening! YAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!
Other than that, news is slow around here. The boys and I are just sitting around, waiting for Mark and Erik to come home. We're in a bit of a "holding pattern". Work, school, dogs, chores.

If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day, go fishing.
If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.

Missy, Your video and the perfect song you picked to go with it made me cry. How beautiful all of you are and the love and bonding in those pictures just reached out to my heart. I am so happy for you and soon you will have your son and your husband home with you. I am praying for you that this time will go quickly. Rhonda
Missy and Mark,
I looked at the video again and saw you two and how amazing YOU are too! I looked at you as a newborn and thought they same thing...you are amazing and I praise God for you and Mark and your love for these little ones who wouldn't know what love is without you and all those I have seen on your blog!! They are amazing as well!!
MA
