A few more days

Well it's David with a rare post. Monica does not have internet in her apartment and the battery on the laptop is having issues, so she has not been able to get it to a Wifi spot.

I know alot of people are checking back to see what is going on so I thought I should give an update. My post will lack the flair and eloquence of Monica's, but here are the facts:

Monica picked up Garrett on Thursday. They made it to Poltova to pick up the passport but it wasn't quite ready. They then headed to Kiev. Today Monica & Garrett got the medical exams completed and started the process at the US Embassy while Vanya returned to Poltova to pick up the finalized passport. Monica will get Garrett's visa completed on Monday and they are flying back on Tuesday. It will have been 364 days since the process began.

Monica & Garrett sound like they are doing great. Aley and I have not burned down the house yet and we are very excited and cannot wait until the whole family is together at last.

Thanks everyone.

David, thanks for the update. It sounds like all our prayers for you guys are being answered. I would love to be at the airport when they arrive to see all the happy faces. Aunt Peachie and I are looking forward to meeting your new son maybe next year.

You do good work, son-in-law, ha. You all have us spoiled with this blog, so if we don't get an update in a day or two we're wondering why. I can't seem to find the right words for how excited and pleased we are to have G in our family. Not only will we have another grandchild to love but when he loves us back, we'll be in seventh heaven.

Love, Mom and Dad H. xo xo

Thanks for posting David. Glad to hear all is well and progress is good! Landing on U.S. soil is deeply emotional - take the tissues!
