Goodbye and Thank-You!

Well..we are outta here. I feel a little guilty for being so excited about leaving. This is Isabella's birth place and her heritage and she may never return and we can't get out of here fast enough. We just need our family together so we can establish our new "normal". There is no way to truly get a feel for what is going on when we move her every few days to a new hotel. Plus there are 2 precious boys at home that can't wait to meet their baby sister. God bless Isabella she has done so well and Gavin and Elijah have been such big boys and we are so proud of them. Derrick and I..not so much. The last few days have been the toughest. It seems odd since we are so close but the home sickness has become consuming. We are aching to see our boys along with everyone else and to be able to finally introduce you to this precious child that the Lord has blessed us with. But..WOW what a ride. We have stepped soooo far out of our comfort zone. I really can't believe that we made it here...and wait until you see the wonderful gift we have received. We are so thankful to God for getting us through this process because there were times when we felt that we could not handle all that we were feeling. I must say that each time the Lord stepped in and pulled us up and on we went. We will never be the same after this and I hope to never forget all that we have seen so we can remember how truly blessed we are. There are no words..and this is something that Derrick and I will always share. It's seems a bit strange to talk as if we have been through something horrible and I don't want it to sound that way but the emotions that are involved are indescribable. So now we head home..sweet home. There is so much about this trip that I need to document for Isabella but I think that should remian between us. So for now I will just say to Russia good-bye and a humble and sincere THANK YOU!

BTW...we arrive in Evansville this Wednesday the 17th at 5:25pm and everyone is welcome join in Isabella's homecoming. You have all helped to hold us up and have prayed endlessly for us so we would not want to leave you out of the best part. We hope to see you there!
Love..and see you REAL soon!
