It is all worth it

We have been waiting patiently to make our next visit with the girls, but it has been postponed until tomorrow (WED). We are disappointed, but will not let this setback steal our joy. We are feeling a little low today after hearing about the change of plans. The last time we saw our daughters was last Thurs. But, the days are going by, and we only have 4 days left until the girls are in our arms forever. We continue to pray for health for both of us, as ME has some pain in her leg that makes sleep difficult. Last night neither of us slept well. The hard bed is getting to us. All this will be a blur some day when the girls are with us.

Today we are going to a mall to look around and check out a play room we may take the girls to next week. I don't know how much free time we will have when we get them because we will need to get passports Monday and Tuesday, and then we leave on Wed. morning for Moscow.

One of our new American friends had her son for one day before he needed to go into the hospital due to bronchitis. It was very sad for her to have to leave him, but we hear he is getting better. She is supposed to leave for Moscow tomorrow, so we pray that Kai is doing well enough to travel.

Another woman got in today to pick up her child. She is getting her daughter from the same orphanage we are getting our daughters from. We can't wait to see her and hopefully our daughters can see each other here. Sasha and her daughter are about the same age.

Sunday was "Woman's Day" and the whole country takes vacation, carrying over to Monday. The hotel was very quiet. Now things are picking up again. We met some missionaries from Campus Crusade for Christ at breakfast today. The three of them are here for a few days meeting with the local missionaries. Nice again to meet some Americans.

Although we have been staying busy, the time is starting to get to us. We are really anxious for Saturday. At the same time, we are a bit scared. We are hopefull that the transition will go good, and the girls don't have any major issues as they join our family. We were really hoping to get two visits this week which would help not only our baby fixes, but also help with bonding, but I fear that we will only see the girls once before Sat.

We have not figured out the video yet, but may work on that later today. We miss America, and look forward to introducing our new daughters to our world.
