It takes a village

You might remember this book title, having to do with raising children. I feel like we could write a book about every person that God has used to bring Evian home!!! Though writing that book would be impossible, because I truly don't even realize the incredible part that so many are having in this adoption process with us.

Thank you to every one of you who are praying with us!!! That you're checking in, caring and coming alongside us in so many ways is so important to us.

Then, of course, there's everyone from the notary at the bank, the FedEx guy, the airline receptionist, the adoption professionals here in Minnesota, in Colorado and in China, the nannies at Evian's orphanage...I could go on and on... Thank you to every one!!!

A HUGE piece in getting ready for our trip which deems a HUGE Thank YOU is to those who will come and stay with Elianna and Ember while we are gone for 2 1/2 weeks. Thank you Aunt Roxanne (Russ's sister), Cousin Rachel (Russ' niece), and Grandma Sharon (Di's mom). Your caring for our girls means so much to us!!! Elianna & Ember are pumped about sleepovers every night!
