I did not get a phone call from Eric yesterday or last night.  So, the majority of this time was filled with anxious thoughts and prayers.  I finally decided at 7:00am our time that I needed to find out what was going on.  I am happy to announce that Eric was busy packing and a bit focused.  He said that Patty got the passport and was hurrying over to the Embassy to get the visas. 

Donna called me and let me know that Patty and Eric were on their way to the airport.  His plane should be taking off any time now.  Barring any complications, Eric should be on it WITH the children. 

I am flying to JFK on the red eye tonight because of some wonderful, gracious friends who dontated their airline miles.  So, I will be reunited with my best friend tomorrow afternoon and introduced to our two new children.  Then, we will be able to enjoy getting to know each other from JFK to SFO. 

Thank you all for your support, emails, posts, and prayers over the past couple of weeks.  It has been a crazy ride and one that we did not expect.  

 It's on the mountain top that you can see clearly.  Not only can you see the valley of despair below that you traveled through but you can see the incredible climb that you just made.   I am exhausted from this long climb but the view from up here is incredible and there is reward and satisfaction of knowing you made it up and conquered the mountain.
