We Leave Tomorrow!


Gladney sent this last photo of the kids from ET last week. We leave tomorrow! We'll spend tomorrow night in DC and then leave for ET on Sunday morning. We think it's kind of cool that we'll spend the Fourth of July in our country's capital.

We will attempt to blog from ET, but also realize that the events of the week may be so overwhelming that we even forget we own a computer. That and the internet service may not be very consistent.

We arrive in ET at 8:00 on Monday morning, midnight on Sunday here at home. We are so ready to love on our kids and have all five together!

    Nikki,
    I will be praying that your trip goes smoothly. Soak it up! Looking forward to "hearing" all about it when you get back! (We still wait for a court date, but I love being able to learn from others who have gone before.....it calms my anxieties!) Blessings!
