One more day closer to home

They are close to the end of their journey in Ukraine. Andrew had his doctor's appointment and they went to the US Embassy to start the process for his visa. Tomorrow they will go back to the Embassy and pick up the visa. Then they will board a plane first thing Saturday morning and head for home!

Here are a few pictures from Sevastopol. The last one is Andrew in a Greek baptismal!

  1. These photos make me want to cry - he clearly loves having a dad! His need for a father and his love for you, the one chosen to be his father, are so apparent here.

  9. What wonderful pictures of a father and son having the time to bond!! Seems to be so right to have this quiet one on one time with his dad since he is older and before he gets to be smoothered with love from all his siblings!

  11. Remembering the first meeting and the worn eyes of a young boy to the current time and the sparkle that now shines from this same child's eyes! Who or what is responsible for all . . . ? Need we really ask ?
