Approaching the Ukrainian Finish Line

After two hours at the embassy, the visas have been issued! God willing, we'll get to JFK tomorrow, and Matthew and Thomas Kelly will be US Citizens upon touching down!

It will be a very long day, and Matthew is very excited as tomorrow promises both Amelika (still working on "r") and a banana. Thomas is Thomas.

You know, with enough duct tape and a broom closet, this parenting thing ain't so hard.

We can't stress enough that there is no way we could have made it this far without the prayers and support of so many people and ALL of the posted comments and e-mails.

We look forward to an uneventful flight and catching up with everyone very soon. God bless you all.

Chris, Ellen, Matthew and Thomas,

We are thrilled that you will be on your way home tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you soon and meeting the boys.
Don't know if you realize what a gift you have given to us with the beautiful blog.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,
Tom and Joan
