Getting ready to go

Hello everyone! We are in crunch mode now because we have 8 days until we leave. We are trying to get phone service to have in Ukraine. I think we are going to buy a global phone here and then buy a sim card in Ukraine to go in it. That way the boys will be able to call us pretty inexpensivley.

We are packing now. I don't know how we are going to get everything in these suitcases. I'm still not totally sure what type of clothes to take. I know we'll be washing in a sink and line drying clothes. I don't think it is going to matter really. I'm pretty sure we are going to feel like we are camping without basic necessities.

When we are in Ukraine, I hope you all will post messages to us. It may be the only communication we have at some time. I know we'd like to hear from our friends and family.

Please pray that we have a safe, quick, and smooth trip. Pray that we bring home a healthy, young little girl. We love you! Shannan
