Preparation

Less than 24 hours and things are nuts. I had to work today, Stacy is cleaning and arranging. The kids are realizing now the gravity of our journey. It begins to sink in; How long is the flight? My ipod will only last for 8 hours, What am I going to do for 16 hours on a plane. Ah the joys of only wanting to be entertained and fed, the good old days.
On a serious note we are prepared with passports in hand and extreme weather gear in the other. The preparation has been going on for 22 months so we are not going to doubt God now! We will be as diligent as possible to keep everyone informed as the wireless connections allow. Thank you again for all your prayers and support. To Mongolia, Beam me thataway Scotty!!! D

Finally, we're getting up to speed, its not easy when you're old foggies and don't know how to use the internet, just about know how to turn on Stacy's computer. have been reading all the comments being sent to you and cried they we couldn't put any on. Sat at this computer this morning and we read what we could do to send a comment, at least we could read english, but for some reason all that we typed would not go through. hope this one gets through, otherwise dad and I are getting on a big plane and we're flying ourselves out there, hope that we can find your hotel,..........Stacy and Derek.........now you can truly know what we felt in our hearts when we went through this twice. It was not quite as hard, as you two were little ones that we bundled up and carried out in our arms, no fussing. We know that by now she is truly yours and will never want to leave your sides. We love all 5 of you and cannot wait til you get home for good. Just want to share a little something with you Stacy.....Not bones of my bones, nor flesh of my flesh, remember all of your life, and never forget......you didn't grow under my heart, but in it !!!!!!!!. Now you can let little Maiah know this.You all have been so blessed, and us too..God had a great plan, you came to us by His design and now we have Maiah, again thanks to HIM....... Continue to enjoy and hold on to the little one and also hang onto Nate & Kaytlin and let everyone know that we miss all of you, and you too Derek, I, memere miss you as much as I know that you miss me, " our little ongoing joke ".............God Bless and Watch over you and have fun and hurry home to us... Have a safe trip. If this finally goes through, then I'll be able to send you more love. take care, Love & Kisses to all, MOM & DAD xxxxx0000000
