READY SET GO

Just bought a new video camera, case, extra battery and flash card, 1 extra battery for the regular camera, an external hard drive for the mac, and ear phones to listen to movies on the plane. Gosh it's costing a fortune just to take pictures and make videos of the little guy. ;)
I think we are as prepared as we are going to be for an 11 hour flight and stay in a foreign country. Please continue to pray for safe travels and a safe stay in Russia. Pray that there are tons of pictures we can point to since we will have no idea what anyone is saying and vice versa. Hopefully, we can lean on our translator for most of what we will need. Pray that our little peanut responds to us as well as he can and that there are no major medical issues that we were not aware of. Pray for patience if things don't go as smoothly as we would like. We both hate crowds so the busyness of Russia and the language barrier should be very exciting. Pray that we don't get too car sick on the 3 hour ride to our Region. Pray that we remember not to drink the water!! Just Pray, Pray, Pray and when you are tired Pray some more!
We have been waiting for this moment since January and now that's it's here we are both scared to death. Even though we know God has control of this whole situation, it's hard not to worry.
