Final preparations

Today was a very trying day. We had to take Hannah Grace to have her blood drawn (not pleasant at all!) Truth be told, I wanted to yell at those who were doing their best...I guess, but of course, I didn't. Good thing Bob was seated while holding Hannah, because his face turned white and his lips were pale and I thought he was going to faint! Hannah SCREAMED while they attemped, in BOTH arms, to draw blood. It was aweful! Anyway, we are through that and Bob didn't faint and Hannah survived and I didn't cry. Whew!

We are so weary of running here and there for appointments and paperwork. BUT, we are so close now. Monday we go to the U.S. Embassy for the FINAL paperwork. If everything is in order.....we...will...be...FREE to leave the country with OUR DAUGHTER! YEA!!!!!!!!! :)

We are so grateful for all your prayers and ask that you would continue to pray that our scheduled flight home for August 5th will be able to take place; presantly there is a strike of our airline!

We love you all! Hey, will you also pray that Hannah Grace handles the flight home well? Thank you so much :)

Much love!
Bob and Lori and Hannah
P.S. ...we miss home

It is pretty cool to see the three of you over there, and how happy Hannah is with you both. We know how you feel with the whole blood work thing; NO FUN! At least that part is behind you and the time is coming close to be home getting on with your lives together. Thanks for taking the time posting the videos, pics and updates. We've enjoyed following along with you. We will continue to pray for you for safety and for Hannah to enjoy the plane ride. I hope you guys can relax and enjoy this moment.

BLESSINGS!!
PC and Mel

Oh Praise the Lord! I just got your e-mail about coming home tomorrow! How GREAT IS OUR GOD!

I love the "Oh Bobby". Her laugh is so contagious and the kind that makes you laugh out loud too.

I love the pictures! She is so beautiful and precious. We will be praying for your flight home!

Can't wait to hear how it goes!
