Officially done!

Today we went to the US Consulate and received our final paperwork and immigration visa for Minzi! We are very excited! Now all we have to do is wait for our flight home, which is Sunday. So we have one more day here tomorrow biding our time until we can come back to our family, friends, and home.

We are so very thankful for all the comments and emails of encouragement. It has been great we have been able to stay in touch while halfway around the world. We were even able to call home for free using Skype and our webcam and see the kids each day. How cool is that? Free! Tomorrow will be both a long day of waiting and short as we get ourselves packed up and ready for the journey home.

We will see you all soon!

Praise God! What a great feeling to be officially done!!!! It's been a long road. If you can wait 2 years for this moment, then you'll survive these last hours until you can be with the whole gang!

Looking forward to the time when you are ready to emerge from your cocoon and introduce Minzi to her new world!

Joel and Alayne! We are so excited for you. We can't wait to be where you are. . . at the end of the trip!! Minzie looks great and we are thrilled with your good days together. We will continue to pray for your all as you travel home and settle in. We leave 2 weeks from today and can't wait to bring Katelyn home so she can meet Minzie. Have a great trip!
