Finally here!
November 28, 2007
So we are here! Man, what a trip. We had a slight delay in Cincinnati and ended up taking a flight to London. This put us behind about 6 hours. Our facilitator met us at the airport right on schedule and all of our bags made it - even the ones that went through NY. We got settled in our flat last night and got a decent night's sleep. K is doing great and adjusting very well. G and I are still trying to decide what time it is. We just had a late lunch/early dinner with some other friends here on their journey. We have our appt with the adoption authority tomorrow at 3 pm - 6 am CST. So you guys be in prayer that it goes smoothly. We should be in our region by Sunday morning and hopefully be able to visit with our child on Monday sometime. This is so surreal. The snow has been beautiful, but it isn't really sticking. K has never seen snow like this. I hope she is taking it all in. She was able to meet with our friend's children this afternoon and I know that this was mutually beneficial. We don't have internet at our flat so this may be the last post until we reach the region.
Be in prayer for the others here with us as we all face certain struggles in our own journeys.
Thank you all for praying with us. The fun is only about to begin.
Much love,
The Graces

Hi Graces, Yes, it is not long now until you get to see D . We miss you. Enjoy this sweet time. Love, Amy
Grace Family!
Hooray for “Lost Time” that ended up equaling a “FOUND TICKET!” ~ God knew where it was all already! Who would have thought He would place it in Cincinnati Ohio!? Oh we are so excited for you and your train ride to Zap! You will never appreciate your own bathroom again in quite the same way, or the fact that it is not crafted from stainless steel after a train ride in winter in Ukraine! Amen and Amen! & Oh my oh my!
The BEST part is that you are about to be with D. and hug her up in your arms, love her and whisper in her ear as you shout in your own heart, “We are here to take you HOME!” What a perfect gift! & we know where all good gifts come from :) Ya’ll we are so excited for you to be there… we just can’t wait to hear as you have the time to share!
With Love and Friendship,
Your Faithful Watchers! :)
The Smiths ~ Here and There :)

Hey guys! Okay- only one comment really got me from your blog post- you said yesterday at "church". I think you meant yesterday at our gathering of the church.Ha!Ha! I am always watching you. Just kidding-
Vickie and I are praying for God to be glorified and for you all to be even more transformed into His likeness in this process. Blessings from the Nichols
We are thinking about you and praying for you! Be safe! Looking forward to your next post. When you get to Zap, tell all the kids that everyone in B'ham says hello. Love, Brandi and Shane E.
