Hi guys it sounds like thing are going better. I assume your one day delay will not disrupt your appointment at the US embassy. I’m wondering if they use infANT CAR SEATS IN Russia? Mark and Amy reported that Tyler had a blast at thier house playing with all the cousins. We will probably go out to Michelle’s early this week to see him and the puppies. We are looking forward to being with him next week and going to church with him this Sunday. Keep a stiff uper lip and keep counting the days. LYD/G BOB

It’s been a while since I’ve checked in but was so excited to hear how your trip went and about Trip #2. What a huge answer to prayer! Can’t wait to hear more and see a picture of your new addition to the family. God bless you.

Matt, Patti and Tyler,
I am so excited for all of you and your most recent news!!! I can just imagine how all of you must be feeling!!! God is good and I trust He will continue to watch over (insert name here) until you have him in your arms!! Don’t know what else to say, I am a little overwhelmed at the moment just thinking about it all. I am especially proud of Tyler and what a gift he is giving to this little boy...to share the love of his parents...WOW!!! I will be available to help hold down your fort while you are traveling, please let me know if there is anything else you need help with. Love to you all - Michelle

So glad the paperwork, for now anyway, is complete and all has gone well. We have much to be thankful for. We are anxious to hear as well. Some scriptures that might help - Psalms 27:14, Romans 15:5, Romans 8:25, Col. 1:11, Hebrews 10:36 and IThes. 1:3. You are all in our prayers. God is working the details out and His will is perfect. Love, Grandma Dronen

Ah yesssss, paperwork. Let me strongly encourage you to not only complete each and every document as thoroughly as possible, but more. I would suggest adding a 15-20 page paper on the ever increasing necessity of governement involvement in this process. You may however, want to include the need to pay us, ah I mean them government workers more money.
