Our Christmas Miracle!

Yesterday night, after a lovely Christmas Eve dinner, we called Sveta and she gave us the best gift yet. We found out that the registration number for our visas was issued! This means that we are officially out of Kazakhstan in terms of getting back to Ava. All that is left is for the embassy in Washington DC to issue our visas. We're expecting this to happen the first week in January, which means we'll be off the 1st or 2nd week in January. Thank you all for your persistence in praying for our little Ava in this long and complicated journey to bring her home.

Sweet Ava Darina, mommy and daddy are coming back to you so very soon! We love you so much!

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and we hope it is a special time with your family to reflect on God's greatest gift to us, Jesus.
