Safe travels Ana! Can't wait to see pictures of you and Russ with Eli in your arms!
Yay! I can't wait to hear that you've landed safely & more importantly that you have Eli safely tucked in your arms (as he's been tucked in your heart for so many months now).
On a side note, your list arrived in the mail today. Thank you! We're going to do our best to figure it out and get some stuff out to Kolumna in honor of your little guy.
Prayers for safe travels, a wonderful reunion and a truly blessed life for all 3 of you!
Your friend,
Kar
Hi Ana,
This is such an amazing time for you! Prayers for a safe and fun trip! Not long now and you will finally be together as a family forever! Warmest wishes...Teresa
Have a safe trip. I know you have waited for this day!! I can't wait to see pictures.
Congrats Ana!!!! I'm just catching up on blogs and can't believe it's almost Gotcha Day! Can't wait to see pics of the little guy! :-)
May God bless you all with a safe and wonderful journey to get your son!
Nicole
