We are ready!

Okay-- you are never really ready until the boarding door closes on the plane, but we are more ready that we have ever been before a trip. The camcorder still needs to go in the carry-on (it's charging)-- but that's it. And a good thing too. Tomorrow's fun starts at 7am with a ride to Oxford for Emily's basketball game-- then James has soccer at 2-- Pre party for the Brooks and Dunn concert at 4, I need to be on a conference call for work at 6 and Mass is at 7--whew!

We have a 3 hour layover at JFK on Monday---just looked to see if we can get a later flight. There is one, but only 45 minutes to get from Comair to Delta--- we DO NOT want to miss the flight--- we'll hang out for the long lay-over--- we can rest from all of Sunday's excitement.

If any folks "in country" are reading here please email us-- we would love to hook up Tuesday night in Kyiv (maybe Podil or maybe in Shevchenko Park ) for dinner.

Mary!
I am so happy for you. I'll pray to our special saint ( Elizabeth Ann Seton ) for a safe and speedy trip for you. I think about your family often.
God's speed,

PTL!!!! I am so happy to know that Daniil is coming home!!! I have met Daniil on a couple of ocassions and he is the sweetest boy. You will hear a million times how what you did by adopting him was such a great thing for him, but you are the ones that are about to be blessed beyond measure. He will fill your lives with joy that is unequaled.

It has been a while, but we emailed back and forth a little when you began your journey. I have 3 kids with cerebral palsy from Antoshka. One of them (Lena) was a good friend of Daniil's.

May God protect you and make your paths straight during your journey.
