Leaving Tomorrow.....

We are so excited! First, to see Bella again and to introduce her to Sissy! We leave tomorrow at 3:00 p.m from Bismarck and arrive in Kiev at 10:40 p.m. on Monday night.

I should be getting ready to go, but wanted to add a few more photos to our blog from our first visit to Kiev.

Sheer Joy!


Climbin' High!


Walking with our purses


Parking....no problem


Our kitchen


Hmmmm....looking for a good deal!


McDonald's with Natasha our translator and Anatoly our Facilitator

Walkways go "underneath" the roads here...


Contrasts - in our apartment


A few hours after landing in Kiev - on our first trip!


My next post will be after court on Tuesday, July 28th. I am praying that we will have great news to share on that post!

Love in Him, Paula

    I've been praying for you... and will keep on it! For God's peace during this time of growth in trust, for safe travels, for Bella's transition out of the only home she's known, for the trip home, for your whole family as they transition to a new way of life... you all are loved and lifted up much! Enjoy your trip and bringing home your little girl!

    Prayers for your court date later today (your time). I'll be praying tonight since you will already be done when I wake up! :)
