We've Arrived!!

Sorry about the delay in posting new information about the Tolly adventures but Janell gave me the responsibility of updating everyone even though I told her I am techo-impaired. I received a call from Janell yesterday(5-5) at 3:00 pm. Their flights were all on time and they have arrived safely. They ventured out in the afternoon and soon realized that language was going to be a huge problem. The only eating establishment that they could find, without being too adventuresome, was a deli. So....they opted to go back to their apartment and eat beef jerky instead. I'm sure Morgan will not be too happy with that for long but they were already tucked into bed at that time, which was 10:00 pm. Janell also said that the heat had been shut off in the city, so they will have to rely on that THICK South Dakota blood to carry them through.

Leaving for Ukraine

Friday May 4 at 7:00 am we left for Ukraine from Sioux Falls. Our trip went smoothly. The girls enjoyed their first plane flights, especially the big international flight.

Fundraiser pictures-April 21, 2007

What started as a joke on Jon cost a few men their hair and others from their pocketbook. These are just a few of the men.(and one very young man)

We do now know of one complication with a shaved head: when you put your sweatshirt on it gets stuck (like velcro) and then it leaves the white fuzz on your head!

Thank you so much to those who shaved their hair and to those who donated through this fundraiser! It has been amazing to us how God has provided financially for this adoption over the last year and a half. So many of you answered the prompting from God to help give two children a home.
