Well today was the big party day and tomorrow we pick up the boys. We will have a lot of running around to do tomorrow. Natalya picked up the court decree today and got copies so that's one less thing we have to do tomorrow. We will go to the registry office in the morning at 9am. That will stamp everything. After we leave there we will go to the orphanage to pick up the boys. We are hoping to get them before 2pm so we can get back to Kiev to get one birth certificate. Natalya will go on to Boryanka to get Micah's. Sasha has already set us up in the apartment we stayed at before and that is a blessing because we are familiar with that area and it is the cheapest apartment. There is a park behind the building and a pizza place within walking distance. Please pray for our safety tomorrow as we travel these busy roads. There are no laws in Ukraine that children must be buckled in or sit in a car seat. Luke is ready to go. He asked Natalya tonight when is Mama and Papa coming in the macheena and I go to America? We had her ask him again and he said I am ready to go in the macheena (car) and on the airplane. Micah is oblivious to what is taking place. He just goes with the flow. It will be more real to him after we pick him up. Enjoy the pics of all the kids. The picture of them mobbing me is for chewing gum. They loved the cookies. (Leah stop crying)
We love you all and next time we blog will be from Kiev. We have our airline tickets for Saturday the 11th so pray everything gets done in time and their passports go thru quick!
In His Love,
Penny, James, Luke and Micah

Whoopee!!!!!!! It will be here when you wake up if you even are able to sleep. I only saw pictures of about 20 kids that I want you to bring home to me. How big is your suitcase? Oh I guess that wouldn't be right - would it??? Those cookies were really pretty and I know the kids enjoyed them, the gum, and of course you two. Looking forward to you being home and will be praying for safety.
It's kid's eve!!
- feels like a Christmas eve -
but it's a KID'S EVE!!
I'm convinced when everyone sees those pictures - - yep - -they're gonna be hooked for sure. I'm not sure but that there still may be a wagon train of some sort that starts forming from the family at FWC all the way to the Ukraine to those babies. They are beautiful aren't they!! This is a "Breaking News" moment! HOLCOMB FAMILY NOW LEAVING AND ON THEIR WAY TO THE USA! :O) We'll definitely take that news!!!!
Love you
Kathy
I just looked at the clock for your time and it is 5:30 a.m. I can just imagine you already up and getting dressed and finishing you packing to go pick up your sons. Yes I am excited for you. Let us know as quickly as you can when you have them in your arms to stay.
IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE. It is afternoon there and I just know you have the boys and I am about in tears myself with joy for you all 4. Praying for a safe traveling time. Love you guys. Sorry for so many posts. I'm just excited too.
What a great time today seeing you guys leave with your kids! You looked great and we hope the next couple of days in Kiev go smooth. We prayed specifically for your return to US on Sat. Let's hope God agrees with our plan! We missed you guys at dinner tonight - the place is not the same without you! Hope we get to see you guys in Kiev but if not, we'll celebrate together back in America!
Love Rick and Melissa
We are anxiously awaiting this next blog of yours - and checking every hour or so just to see - - - - Keeping up with you!
Praying for today to go smoothly!!
Kathy
