The only thing pending is picking up the boys' passports and going to their final Embassy appointment, which is all scheduled to happen tomorrow (Thursday)! Their flights are booked for a Friday morning departure from Kiev!
Scratch that. God had other plans. They DID get their passports and finish their final Embassy appointment on Thursday (today). However, they can't pick up their Visas until Friday (tomorrow) morning. SO, we had to change their flights. They are now arriving on Saturday afternoon. The remaining info below has been updated to reflect their new flight.
We want to invite everyone to the airport (Houston Intercontinental) on Saturday afternoon (April 26th) to welcome them home. They will be arriving at 2:20pm on United Airlines Flight 105 from Munich. We're guessing it will take them about an hour to deplane, go through customs and immigration, and get luggage; so, they should be walking through the arrival gates at the international terminal by 3:30pm! (that's just my estimate...)
Keep in mind that our boys speak very little English, so don't expect any conversation to happen. But I'm sure they will appreciate smiles and "welcome" signs.
After the greetings and pictures (Valik is going to hate all of the pictures I plan to take!), we'll head to our house to begin settling in as a family of 7. So, even though it will only be a bit of time that you'll get to see them at the airport, I know they would love a warm welcome. And once we're settled and they have adjusted to the 8-hour time difference, we're happy to have visitors so y'all can get to know our boys a bit more.
Thanks for ALL of your love, prayers, and support. When they land on US soil, our real journey begins...so please keep 'em coming! ;)
