Getting Ready and Leaving

Well we are flying to JFK today and then to Ukraine. We have been very,very busy over the last several months. We had to rearrange all three of the girls' rooms to make room for Alina. That was a chore and a half!! She will be in a room with Taylor. Terry made bunkbeds for a queen and full sized mattress we already had (for Alina and Taylor) rather than buying new mattresses and a bunkbed. Terry is no carpenter by trade, but he did a really good job putting it together and staining the wood. He said one day while he was sitting at his desk at work out of the blue God gave him the plans for putting the wood together. It reminded me of Noah and the ark!!! We got three new dressers and two new desks/chairs. We found them on sale at Target. Although we had to put them together they seem like they will hold up. We looked at a lot of other particle board stuff at furniture stores for a lot money than we paid!! Terry had twin bunkbeds from when Jessica and Taylor were younger so we put those up in Zachary's room. We had to purchase a twin mattress/box springs. I think out of all of the kids, Zachary is the most excited!!! I am crossing my fingers and talking to God a lot. Zachary really, really wants a brother! He will be crushed if it isn't in God's will. I have sat and watched him grow up in a female dominate family....even the dog is a girl and yeah Terry is a dude too, but in the neighborhood over the years there hasn't been a lot of boys for him to play with. Zack is very sensitive and compassionate....heck he cries when he sees his sister cry....he would make an excellent brother for a little Ukraine boy!! Well Terry will be home and we are off to the airport!! Yeah!!! I love all you and thanks for the many thoughts and prayers!!!
