Title: Welcome to 2007
Having expereinced this new year for 7 to 8 hours longer than the rest of you, I feel justidied in welcoming you to this year. Truthfully, my mind cannot even wrap itself around how different this year will be than last year. It is truly mind boggling.
We now have all of our paperwork in hand! Now we are just waiting for our court date which is Jan 9th at 11:30. At least as far as paperwork goes, there are no more obsticles in our way. It is a really good feeling. Now we just sit back and wait and enjoy our kids.
We came to Kiev yesterday afternoon to meet the group from home that was coming over to pick up our paperwork. While the practicalities of the paperwork brought us here, we were also very grateful for the chance to see some of our friends from home as well as spend time with the Stewarts and their new son, Kole. It has been a wonderful time of refreshing for us. I cannot express how nice it was to talk to people from home and just to be surrounded by people speaking English. I feel like my brain took a big sigh of relief. We had a great time laughing with the Stewarts and swapping stories about our children. We basically had a sleepover at Gayla's and then played with Kole some more this morning. Did I mention that we also got laundry done? I have never rejoiced over clean laundry so much in my life. It is the simple pleasures of life that bring the most joy, a childs laughter and clean socks!
We will head back to Novagrad-Volensky in just a few minutes so we can see Gideon this afternoon. But I wanted to tell each and every one of you how much you mean to us. I know that we would not have made it this far without the love and support that you have given us. The Stewarts are on their way home on Thursday. The Dheils will leave a few days after that. We anxiously look forward to our trip home but we are hopeful that every day we spend with the kids here will ease the transistion when we get home.
May God bless each of you more abundantly that you can ask or imagine according to his riches which are in Christ Jesus.
Peace of Christ to all,
BLN&G

Lori & Bruce - Happy New Year! The Chinese "Red Thread" that connects people can get pretty twisted. It was with great joy that I read the paperwork has been unravelled. You all and the children are in my thoughts and prayers every day. Thanks be to God for everything, but especially family. Susan Stopher
