On our way to Ministry of Education

We're at the CHI office getting ready to go to the Ministry.  It was in Russian, but I think they said we will get a referral under 1 year of age.  I think they wanted to make sure we weren't too old for a child that young. :) We're overwhelmed right now with information and expect to be overwhelmed with emotion shortly.  Expect there to be a lot of happy tears in Russia today from a McGill.  Who'd have thought that? We'll blog later.  Isn't this thing cool?  If you're reading, drop us a comment so we can stay connected with home. Love you, Steve and Vonda

Steve and Vonda,
We are all praying for this awesome day. Just to think the sweet baby God has chosen for ya'll is so close. I am praying for instant bonding. We are crying tears of joy with you. We are so happy for you. Can't wait to read what you found. This is the day the Lord has made! Maria

Steave and Vonda,
We love you and Allie is doing great! She had a little tear on Saturday evening. She did just great Sunday and we read the blog. I almost lost it Sunday at church in asking for prayers for you, Allie and baby Jack. We are at 804 now working and getting ready to leave for ACU on Tuesday afternoon. Allie will take her camera.

We read the "Seed of Love" last evening ... and Allie planted four seeds: one for mommy, daddy, Allie and Baby Jack.

We are looking for your next blog! We hope it has a picture of baby Jack!

Love,
Papa, Sue and Allie

Vonda & Steve,

Hey, this little blog thing is pretty cool. Allie and I just had cheerios and I am trying to get mine & mama's stuff ready to take to the sale in Franklin. Allie informed me last night that she had a camera to take to Texas to take a picture of an armadillo! I guess we will have to scope the beautiful landscape that is Abilene, TX to find one. (I can hardly contain my excitement)
I am so happy and excited for you, and can't wait to see little Jack. I also am waiting for that bathtub shot! I think Allie and I are going to Super Wal-Mart later, and she said,"Kia, I will have to show you where the fish are". She is holding on to that cell phone, it is hilarious to see a 5 year old with a cell phone clipped to her.
We all miss you and are praying for you. All of my friends send their love and prayers as well.
Allie is sitting here with me, and wanted me to type this for her:
"I fed Beau and Belly, and I played with them too. I love you and miss you."
She is a brave little girl. Talk to you soon, hope you have more news!
Love you,
Kara and Allie

WE are glad to here things are progressing well there. We are anxiously awaiting for pictures to be posted. Maam can't even go to curves, because she is waiting for your phone call.

Everything is fine here.

We love you. Maam & Gramps

Well, I can hardly type through my tears-I've cried every time I go to the site. I can't think of anything else- this is so what you've wanted for so long and I know what I'm feeling inside is nothing compared to the joy and emotions you are going through. I can't wait to hear about the moment you set your eyes on him.
Love and miss you both,
Kristi
