After what seems to me as one of the shortest weeks in history, we are beginning our busy, not restful, weekend. Tonight, Vincent's ball game was cancelled due to inclement weather, Dom and Francesca performed at the Pop's Concert, and Gabby's tiredness got the best of her.
Yesterday's results at the statewide National History Day competition did not fair well for either Gabby or Dominic. Both of them finished in the top six of the state, but neither of them placed high enough to go to the National competition at the University of Maryland in June. The bright side is that this won't slow us down in terms of a date to go to Russia and they both gained valuable experiences that will assist them in life!
We finished the kids' physicals today. Kenny and I got ours updated. All in all, it seems like we only have a few things left to do before we can go. Our paperwork appears to be in order. We even got our needed social work documents from the person who conducted our homestudy.
It would be great if we would hear how Julianna is doing. We must trust that God is taking care of her and the angels are watching over her. It is already Saturday morning in Russia as I write this...just another day for Julianna, wondering when her Mommy and Daddy are coming to get her. Today marks one day closer...
