Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes, I know it's not quite Thanksgiving yet but we'll be in NC so I wanted to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving a little early.
We have so much to be thankful for. We are thankful for our health and our family's health as well. We are thankful to be able to spend Thanksgiving with my family in NC, I don't get to see them very often. We are thankful for our jobs, getting paid for doing what we love most (ministry) is pretty amazing. We are thankful for our home. We are thankful for the Lord's protection and provision. We are so thankful for our two little boys in Russia that the Lord has chosen for us from the beginning of time. We are thankful that right now He is working on our behalf to bring our boys home soon. We are thankful for our adoption blog community that encourages us and prays for us on a daily basis. We are so blessed and for that we are thankful.
We will be leaving for Tallahassee tomorrow at 5am so prayers for safe travels and that all would go well with getting our documents apostilled would be wonderful. We'll be traveling about 7 more hours from there to NC.
Enjoy your turkey dinners and don't forget to give thanks!

The extra miles out of your way to Tallahassee will all be worth it if it will help bring those boys home sooner!! How much notice will they give you this time?

We adopted two children from Siberia two years ago and have a couple more adoptive buns in the oven ourselves (two in Haiti, one in Liberia) ... very cool. I have such vivid memories of our time in Moscow. Congratulations, and all the best on your adoption!!
