We are as ready as we ever could be. Willem's sister flew in on Wednesday to hold down Ft. Mast (pray for her y'all, she'll have my three and her two all by herself)
Bags are packed up. Can you guess which of these is for Dima?
Things I've heard from the mouth of Derek over the last week:
"Mom when Dima and i are going night night...can we talk? that would be so fun"
"Mom I will protect Dima from the bad bugs...he won't know what they are"
"I'll share my cuddles with you with Dima but can we get a bigger couch so we can both cuddle?"
"Hey Dima. What's up? you're coming home soon. I know... You too... Bye" (said into his play cellphone...)
"Mom can I share my stickers with Dima?"
"Mom how many days till Dima gets home?"
Ladies and Gentlemen...we have one very excited big brother over here...
The girls are equally excited and even set a place for him at the breakfast table Sunday. Their teachers say it is all they talk about and they even have it marked on their classroom calendars.
We will officially get Dima on Sept. 17th and he will stay with us as we spend the week in Moscow finishing up paperwork and waiting on his US visa. Praying for good weather so we can get out and show him his city before we leave.
We would love for Dima to get a glimpse of how many people have been praying for him and love him already... Anyone wanting to greet us off the plane we will arrive in Lafayette on Sunday Sept. 23 at 1:40 pm.
