Cindy and I asked each other this morning...How are you feeling? And we both answered thequestion in a very simliar fashion...
- grateful
- ecstatic
- anxious
- humbled
- amazed
- pumped
- uncertain
- happy
- in love
- were going to be parents to a little boy
- what are we doing
- why are we doing this
- THANK YOU GOD!!!!!

We are amazed that God has brought us to this place after close to 5 years of waiting. If you are reading this then you have played a part in our journey and I am reminded of these words that Jim Elliot wrote in 1956...

He is NO FOOL who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose!

Thank you for praying for us and for all of the support. The next blog update will be in Russia.

We love you!
