Happy 14th Birthday Laiya! We were the ones to get the "gift" though. We got "THE" call this morning, at about 9:30. I wasn't home from work yet so I got the message at 9:45. When I saw "Bethany" on the caller ID I just screamed! Laiya's visa hearing isn't until April 18, so we will leave on the 21st, arrive on the 22nd, and return home on the 28th (which is the date Emily came home on 24 years ago!). Please continue to keep Laiya in your prayers as she will begin the process of saying goodbye to everything and everyone she has ever known. Thank you!! Dave and Marva
Grandma's precious darlings!
