Its been a long time and I apologize.  This spring and summer found us in a turmoil of changing paper work and anticipating travel to the Ukraine.  I am pleased to finally find time to sit and share were we are at.  We are in Kiev now, last week we were waiting to her when we would be going thinking it would be about Sept. 3 and anticipating the arrival of our baby.  In Gods timing and planing we found out late in the day last Monday that we needed to be in Ukraine on the 20th., this was a very difficult day.  We wanted to have the baby and give Kathy time to get back on her feet as well as some major projects I needed to finish.  Well Wednesday morning at 2:15am I got up as Kathy thought the contractions were starting to get strong, after 3 contraction Sarah was born 6lbs. 12oz.  We were all taken care of and back in bed by 4:15 and went back to bed.  God is so good, Kathy is doing well and Sarah is great.  We left NY Friday night spent Saturday afternoon in Landon, and arrived in  Kiev Sunday after noon.  We will get our paperwork tomorrow and take a train to the orphanage.  Oksana is there alone as most all the kids are at camp, so she will be able to come stay with us saving us time and money each day not going to the orphanage.  We will be together 24/7.
  
Thanks for all those who have helped us get here and all the prayers, continue to pray for a timely and safe return.
