Bags Are Packed!

Bottle...check!

Sippy cup...check!

Baby spoon and dish...check!

Burb cloth...check!

Adorable clothes and bows...check!

Our bags are packed and we are ready to catch our plane early tomorrow morning. I'm packing my lucky four leaf clover charm in my carry on. We are READY to go get our girl! I can't believe the day has finally come! THANK GOD!

I think it might actually be summer weather now in Ukraine...no need for her polka dot jacket and pink hat...I hope!

Check back in with you all "on the other side"!

  14. Wishing you a wonderful trip to Ukraine! And what an adventure that awaits little Sofia... she doesn't know it yet, but her life is about to change forever. I have followed your blog for some time, a very touching story.

    Will you check up on Liza as well, while you are there? Of course your focus is on Sofia (as it should be), but your description of that little girl moved me to tears and I wonder how she is doing...

    Anyway, all the best for your long trip, and a big hug for Sofia. She's adorable, you must be very proud parents!
