Hello Everyone -
Well this week was a big week. We finalized all of our documents with the agency and were able to get everything notarized - thanks to Matt Heinz for getting Tressy to help us out - Tressy you were a huge gift to us this past week - thanks for being so patient with us. We went to the Secretary of State's office today and had all of our documents apostilled. Thanks to our friend Jacques for walking us in and helping out. "We liked knowing people in high places... hahaha" THANKS JACQUES!!!

We made two complete copies of the entire packet and shipped it all off to the agency this evening. It will arrive in North Carolina on Monday morning and should be in Bulgaria by the middle of next week!!!!! Thanks to everyone for your comments, positive words, prayers and for just listening to me ramble sometimes! Josh and I are really overwhelmed at how many people are following this journey with us and again THANKS TO YOU ALL!!

It might be a little silent for a while, but will keep you all posted as we get news. This is the part where we wait. Josh and I keep saying we have plenty to keep us busy, the boys, Kim's wedding, Payton's arrival... and so on. And we know that the time table is in God's hands and that brings us peace. Laidyn Claire will be here when He is ready for her to come home.

We do also have some really encouraging news about the adoption situation in Bulgaria and will share that with you as soon as we get the ok from our agency... hopefully soon!

Love to everyone,
Josh, Kel, Brennan & Noah
