Because we had been doing the yard sale all day Saturday, we never had time to get on FB. You can imagine our surprise Saturday evening when we discovered that Julie & Anastasia would be flying into B'ham Sunday evening at 6:25 instead of Thursday as previously planned. So we drove to the airport yesterday afternoon to make sure they received a warm welcome. After 2 hrs. of delays, they finally arrived around 8:15 last night! It was so surreal. We've talked to them on skype, we've been with them as they have planned for this, and we were there to send them off at the airport when they left for Ukraine. It still didn't seem real though, until we held Anastasia once again in our arms last night. She's here, her forever home!

It was an awesome evening! So glad she is finally here and we are looking forward to welcoming Oleg home in a few weeks. David will fly back to Ukraine Sunday, June 10. Oleg's 10 day waiting period will be up and it will just be a matter of applying for his passport and visa and they can bring him home. Keep the Sanchez family in your prayers.
