Travel Time

Hi, just an update on the travel. Alesia and the kids have made it safely to New York and they now have an overnight stay. They will be flying home again tomorrow (Thursday) morning and myself and the MN Haak contingent will collect the whole crew at the airport in the Sprinter van.

The flight was good, a bit delayed, but they all made it and went through immigration and customs. Unfortunately because they have to lay over night, they had to haul all of their bags with them to the hotel and then haul them all back to the airport again in the morning. And, of course, it is up early to catch the flight.

We are all looking forward to seeing them and getting everyone home safely and having our entire family together again for the first time in over 8 weeks!!! Then it is on to the business of reforming and integrating our new larger family. Lots of work I'm sure, but also lots of fun times and rewards ahead.

Also, today was Jaclyn's birthday and it was a bit sad that we could not all celebrate it together, but we will have a party Friday for her birthday and for Katya's birthday with is early next week.

So, please continue to pray for safe travels for Alesia and the kids, for a good healthy intergration of our larger family, for our marriage, and for Godly parenting wisdom as we will surely be working through a number of yet unknown issues as we move forward together as a family.

Thanks for all of your prayers and support.
