On a lighter note; take a look at the last picture! Please be sure to look past the lady in the picture and her desperate need for a cut, color and highlight!! I have TWO passports in my hands! After processing the paperwork last Wednesday, they were ready to pickup on Monday. What a relief! We were really nervous the government would be shutting down completely for their week of mourning and our departure would be delayed. We filed for Visas at the US Embassy today and (knock on wood) will be picking them up tomorrow at 3:00pm. THEN, we will be ready to fly home on Saturday!

I am soooo relieved to see the passports are in your hand! You are truly on the home stretch. I'll check the blog tomorrow to see the final Visa status! On a very heavy note, I am glad they did not announce there was a plane crash while we were in the air on Saturday, but was deeply sadenned to hear just how tragic that day was for many families and the entire country of Poland. We can only pray as one nation for their people to heal in time, right?
I thought the person in need of highlights was going to be some random person on the street!! Too funny!
I am so happy for you, I am sure Lee cannot wait to have you home!
Yea! Passports!! I also was looking for a random person on the street needing cut & color. I remember after being in Poland for almost 8 weeks how badly I needed my hair taken care of too! Priorities sure do change :-) What building are you in front of? (I don't recognize it)
Yay for passports! Glad to hear you are on schedule for your return. With paperwork in hand early - you can't beat that!
Kara & Kelly,
What are you talking about, who is that lady in the last picture? LOL! Congratulations. I feel like you have been in Poland forever now. I'm so happy your family will be home getting situated soon.
With everything you've been through and the question of whether the government will close down its offices when you need them so bad, now it appears your flight may be in danger as well due to a volcanic eruption in Iceland...
My parents are scheduled to fly back home through London on Saturday, and right now all flights to Europe are cancelled.
I hope yours is going to be on schedule.
You'll definitely have a lot to tell your kids about their adoption story...
Hooray! The American embassy was the nicest place to finally get to on our trip. You probably already have your Visa's in hand and are ready to come home. Enjoy! Hope the trip home is uneventful. Volcanos erupting canceling flights sure would be an interesting story, but not one I would want at the end of the trip:)
Thanks for the other pictures. I may try to download them and put them in a 'history' type folder just like I have for events in the US as the kids grow up.
Wow! The passports are such a relief! I'm so glad things went smoothly for you! I agree with the others, I hope your flights aren't in any danger of being canceled. I heard also that most of the European flights were canceled for a week or two due to the eruption. I also would like a copy of your memorial pictures for BJ's book. I already printed the article. Would it be possible when you get back to send them to me through email? It's hard to believe that something so tragic would happen while you a there! Blessings to you and you are in our prayers!
Yeah for passports!
And, thanks for sharing your experience of what's going on in Poland right now. I'd suggest you get a paper with the dates and stories (you can get them translated later) to put in the kids books (if you're doing one).
Best wishes for getting home soon!
I see they cancelled all flights from Poland. Is this affecting you? Or is your flight scheduled later tomorrow?
Best travel wishes tomorrow. I will be praying that it all goes smoothly :)
