Getting everything ready...

Is there any doubt these boys are going to be Jayhawks?

Well, we are leaving for Krasnoyarsk on Friday! Just yesterday, we found a KU student to stay at the house while we're gone. Mujibur the cat is very pleased! We are working on the packing issues. There is a weight limit of 44 lbs for our luggage, and I think 30 lbs of it will be adoption documents. :-) We get to see the boys a week from today, and our court date will be a week from tomorrow. We were asked to wait until we successfully complete the court appearance before posting any pictures of the boys, so you'll have to wait till then to be introduced...

We've been telling everyone this week, "we're overjoyed and overwhelmed." It is so exciting to be heading to Kras to bring home our boys, and it is so scary to wonder if we're totally prepared. We know that something along the way will be especially challenging, but what will it be? Will the flight over go smoothly? Will the judge catch us unprepared with tough questions? Will every document be in the right place with the right signatures? Will the boys be in good spirits and good health?

It's impossible to know the answers, but what we do know is that we are bringing these little guys home soon and we're going to be the best parental units we can possibly be for them. Bring it on!
