Time...

I think of timing often. The timing of everything .. how if I had taken the original date to my cousins wedding that I had wanted to, I may have never met my husband and have the life I have now. When I see an accident, I think that if I hadn't forgotten my cell phone or gotten stopped at the annoying red light that it may have been me! This poem rings through my head often and I wanted to share it.

To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade.

To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth toa premature baby.

To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.

To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train.

To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an accident.

To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a silver medal in the Olympics.

Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time. And remember that time waits for no one. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it's called the present!!

Yulia

Back in October, when we first committed to Jacob, we were assigned a facilitator.  I wasn’t quite sure what she would do for us, but soon came to realize that she was our in-country connection.  We really didn’t have much contact with her until we were very close to sending our dossier.  I had many questions for her before were were at that point.  She wasn’t great at getting back to me via email.  Needless to say, I was a bit discouraged not knowing what to expect when we got to Ukraine. 

We arrived in Ukraine, went through customs and were greeted by a man named Nickolai.  He was wonderful.  Yulia did tell me that she would not be able to meet us at the airport because it was her son’s birthday and they would be celebrating with him.  Nickolai and his daughter gave us our cell phone, took us to a grocery store to get some groceries and dropped us at our apartment.  We were good.  The next day, Yulia called to ask if we would like to go to McDonalds with her, her husband, Yuri and another couple that had just flown in.  She met us outside our flat and we walked to Mc Donalds.  When she stepped out of the car, we hugged like we had known each other for a long time!  We were instant friends. 

It was only a matter of a couple of days before we realized just how hard this lady works and what a heart she has for adoption.  Yulia’s story has a long history.  Her parents were both orphans and married.  She has one brother.  She is married to Yuri and they have a little boy who is 5.  Stas is the cutest thing around. 

When she was 20, she was doing some translating and someone had some issues with a facilitator and asked her to step in and help and the rest is pretty much history.  She has been facilitating adoptions for 10 years.  She, in my opinion, is the Goddess of Adoption.  I don’t have experience with any other facilitators, however if we were to ever do this again, I would want Yulia in my corner no matter what!  I see now why she doesn’t have time to answer emails.  She is so busy, she is stretched beyond the normal work day and most times into the wee hours of the morning.  She told me on several occasions that we could call her any time and I could tell that she was completely sincere about that.  Anything we needed, she was at our disposal!

She was with me on “Gotcha Day” and was so happy for us and was overjoyed that we were taking Jacob home with us!  She stayed in our apartment when she was in Krivoy Rog so we shared some special memories and had some long talks about adoption/Down syndrome/family.  These are conversations that I will never forget.

When we were leaving Ukraine, we didn’t get to see Yulia right before we left.  We said our good-bye’s over the phone and I must say that it was one of the most joyous and most difficult phone calls that I have had in a long time.  I will miss her smiling face and her kind words.  For I know that if it hadn’t been for her, we might not have our son home with us!  She is truly a blessing to the adoption community!  I love her!!

For anyone that will work with her as a facilitator, let me just assure you that you are in the most competent hands.  She will do EVERYTHING in her power (and that may mean calling in a favor or two) to get things done for you as quickly as she is able.  Please know that she is someone that you want in your corner while in Ukraine!  We couldn’t have picked a better person to guide us through the process.  God is working through her for sure!!

 

Yulia, if you are reading this… we miss you!!!  We’ll chat soon!!!  Don’t forget to eat lunch and get lots of sleep!! 

Blessings!!

Photo Thursday!!

 

Here is our first family photo at the airport… Jake was wiped out and didn’t wake up until 7 am the next morning!!!

The kids were pawing all over him at the airport.. it was very very cute!!

Grandma and Grandpa with Jake

We met my friend Amy and her two girls at Iowa City Mall on Tuesday!  It was fun!!  She took a better family picture of us there!!

I tried to get a picture of his beautiful Brushfield Spots, but this picture doesn’t do them justice.  I hadn’t noticed it until Amy pointed it out, but they are beautiful!! I will try to get more pictures of them!!

WE ARE HOME!!!

I will post pictures later today of our homecoming, but our plane landed just around 10:30 on Saturday night!!  It is so good to be home and Jacob is adjusting like a champ!!  He is still sleeping this morning and mommy is the one that was up at 3 am!!  Oh well, as long as he is doing good then I can catch up!!

His first trip to the park today with his brother and sisters!!  Can’t wait!  He is fitting right in at our house, and his siblings are just as in love with him as his mommy and daddy!!  How lucky are we to have chosen such a wonderful, wonderful son!!!????

More Pics of Jake as Promised

Ok.. no captions, just my sweet boy looking so darn cute!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Look what we have!!!!

 

   

 

 

 

We are ready to COME HOME!!!!!

We're Public Again!!

Just thought we would go back public again since we will be on our way home soon!!

I will be posting lots of pictures tonight! Stay tuned!!!

More pictures…

Ok, so here are some more pictures of our week in Kiev!!

 

Jake had his first real bath away from the orphanage.  He didn’t like it much, which actually fits right in with our kids at home because they don’t like to be clean either. 

 

I don’t think at the orphanage they actually give them a bath in water.  I think they are sponged and soaped up and that is about it.  He will get used to it and I am sure that he will grow to like them very much.  Right now though, they are quick quick quick!!  LOL

Mommy – GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!

 

On Sunday after we went to church and had lunch, we went to a Kids Store near the Darnitsa metro station on the Left Bank.  I tell you, this store has absolutely everything!  I had to get the kids some little toys there!  These two pictures (above and below) are the windows in the front of the store!

 

 

These strollers (above and below) are EVERYWHERE here!  I would have loved to bring home 4 of them, but they wouldn’t travel too well in my suitcase! :-(  I just love them.  I wish you could find them like this in the states.  I don’t doubt they have them, but they aren’t so easy to find!!

 

 

Myself, Jamie and Debbie – this was after lunch and a good afternoon of fellowship on Sunday.  THANK YOU Jamie for taking us out on the town!!!

 

Just a view up and down the street (above and below) outside the children’s store!  Have I told you that people drive and park pretty much wherever they want around here?? IT IS CRAZY!!!  I have never been a little scared to even walk on the sidewalk for fear that I might get hit by a car!

 

Debbie and I wandered back down to Independence Square yesterday.  The name fits it so nicely.  It was built to commemorate the Independence of Ukraine from Russia during Soviet Times.  It is amazing the freedoms that these people enjoy that just 20 short years ago, they could have never dreamed of.  For instance, a gal that showed us around when we first got here, was telling us about the Mayor of Kiev and the corruption that happens in government here.  I was thinking as she was saying this, that if this were 20 years ago, she would be arrested for talking like that.  AMAZING what a few years will do for a country huh??

 

 

 

Behind the building in the center is where my flat was when I first returned to Kiev with Jake.  I chose to change over to Debbie’s apartment because it was bigger and she had a washing machine.  If you look closely at the building on the left, in the bottom, there is a McDonalds.  Just a block or so from my flat for a few days.  It was nice!!

 

During the summer, they turn on the water at Independence Square.  It was so hot that day and we soaked our feet for a little bit in the water.  It felt so nice to cool off a little bit!!

Jake wasn’t so sure about the water.  I think he thought he was getting a bath!!  Poor little guy!!

 

 

There were several fountains and there were people swimming in them all over.  It was funny!!  However, when I wanted to take a picture, there was no one in the fountain!!

 

We stopped at this swank grocery store (that is our apartment building in the background on the upper right side of the photo).  It was a real gourmet shop and had lots of great things to choose from that we haven’t seen here before!  When we came out, this was parked outside.  A Ferrari, I think.. lots of people were taking pictures!  I wondered if Barbie got out and went into the grocery, but I must have missed her!!

 

More pictures to come tomorrow!!!

Blessings

Kiev this week!!!

We have traveled all around Kiev this week!!  Debbie and I have had a couple of great adventures so I wanted to post pictures to show you how we have spent some of our time here in Kiev!!

The Kiev Pechersk Lavra (Ukrainian: Києво-Печерська лавра; Russian: Киево-Печерская лавра), also known as the Kiev Monastery of the Caves, is an ancient cave monastery in Kiev. It was founded in 1051 by monks Anthony and Theodosius, and has become an important center of Orthodox Christianity in Kievan Rus'. It's ongoing development and construction followed for the next 9 centuries. The word "pechera" means cave in the Slavic tongue. The word "lavra" is used to describe high ranking monasteries of the Eastern Orthodox Church. The Lavra buildings looked like small towns with their own streets. In Greek "lavra" means "the street".

While we did not get to go to the caves, we had a great time exploring this beautiful place. 

 

The front of one of the buildings

There was an outlook place on one side… the gold domed building in front is the Monastery that is directly beside the Church!  It was a beautiful view… in the background, the Left Bank of Kiev.

A bit of a zoom in shot of the Left Bank!

 

Kiev's statue of the Motherland is a memorial of the Great Patriotic War (World War II). The statue itself is 62 meters (203.4 feet) tall, the overall height is 102 meters (334.6 feet).

 

This is the backside of that building pictured above.  Isn’t it beautiful!!!

 

We took this tour on Friday.  Friday’s and Saturday’s are very popular for weddings in Ukraine and people from all over come to get married at this church.  It is not uncommon for 20-30 couples to be married here in one day!  I caught one couple here under the arch getting some photo’s.  The wedding dresses here are just beautiful as well!!

On Sunday, we went to church at the Kiev International Bible Church, which I spoke about in my previous post.  After, Jamie, a gal that I had met there last week, took us to this Ukrainian Restaurant for a traditional Ukrainian meal.  Let me tell you that it was definitely traditional.  We were there for almost 3 hours and had 4 courses.  It was so yummy!  I had to take this picture of one item in particular on the menu!  “Fat with Garlic”  DISGUSTING!!  People eat it here though!  YUCK!!  We didn’t order it!!

We ordered Perogi’s with potato and mushroom (left) and Pelmeni (which are like little ravioli’s with meat inside, left).  It was such a yummy lunch!!  We also had Borsht, and Blinki’s (I will explain what each of those is in a later post..they almost need a post all to themselves!!  LOL)

 

This was inside the restaurant…doesn’t it look like it was outside?  Very neat!

 

This restaurant was very private.  We were in our own little room and there were little places like it all over the restaurant.  There were only a handful of tables that were actually out in the middle!

 

Me and our waitress!  She was so very very nice!  I believe her name was Luba, but I am not quite sure.

 

I will post more of the rest of our week tomorrow.  I am getting very sleepy and still have to shower and get things ready to go to the embassy in the morning!  Goodnight all and come back for more pictures!  I will have some pictures of Jake when I post tomorrow!!!

Blessed By Adoption

So our week has slowed down a bit. I am now here with Jake and Debbie Jennings is here with Mariah. We are sharing a flat to save some money so we have been wandering around Kyiv trying to keep the kids occupied. The kids' passports will be put on the train in Dnepropetrovsk on Tuesday evening around 5 pm and Yulia will pick them up at the train station here in Kyiv at around 11 pm that night. We will be going to the Embassy for the Visa's then first thing Wednesday morning, have the medicals and if we wanted to, we could leave on Thursday to go home, but my good friends are coming in on Tuesday AND if I wanted a flight out on Friday I would only have about an hour and a half to get from one side of Chicago Airport to the other and have to reclaim my baggage as well as pass through security again AND go through immigration all with Jacob in tow, so we are coming home on Saturday, June 13th.



Debbie, the kids and I went to church this morning. I went last week while I was here by myself. Kyiv International Bible Church. An English speaking service and very informal and so wonderful!!! I am so blessed to have met Lydia and her husband Dennis as well as Jamie! They have gone out of their way to make us feel blessed and welcome! Today at the end of the service, Debbie and I, along with the kids, sat up front and were prayed over by the most wonderful people. Our children were blessed with anointing oil! It was amazing!



This journey of adoption has made me think A LOT about my Faith in God! I have always been a Believer! That part of my life has always been there, although at times, my faith has faltered because every day life gets in the way. While I sat in church, I realized that we all really have a "gotcha day". The day that we accepted the Lord into our lives. For some of us who have never questioned our Faith, that might have been at our Baptism, for other who have come to the Lord at a later point in their lives. The testimony that we heard today was from a man that is from Iran. He was not raised a Believer, but has found the Lord. We often think that people just don't want to hear the Word, but he was saying that EVERYONE is interested, they just might not know it! I know that I am always interested, but I can also say there are points in my life, where quite possibly, I did not know that I was interested!



I truely do not believe that you can go into this adoption without having some type of Faith, though it may not be really strong. There is no way you can come out the other end of this Journey without knowing that God is with you every step of the way! In everything that you do, in every document you sign, in every little set of eyes you see, He is with you, Guiding you, Directing you and Showing you the way HE has chosen for you!



I feel like my calling in Ukraine is not over. While I don't feel that we have another calling for adoption, I feel like there is more that I need to do to help bring these kids home to their families. These children that have special needs that would not be adopted by people from Ukraine! I ask that you join me in prayer for these children....all the ones who so desprately need homes and families who love them, famillies who will accept them unconditionally! Ask that if God is calling me or anyone else to do His work for these children, that He will make is calling clear! We ask that the right people are sent to do the job to bring these kids home to the families they are meant to be a part of!!

Blessings.

Gotcha Day!!!

Well here are the pictures -- (The rundown of our day is below the pictures)

Yulia (our facilitator and Goddess of Adoption), Jacob and Mommy



Mommy and Jacob


Leaving the gates of the orphanage for the very last time EVER!!!!



Our first meal with the new kids. Debbie and Jason Jennings have been on this journey with us. They brought their son's Jeremiah and Zach (6 & 7) along with them and they adopted little Mariah from the same orphanage as Jacob. Yulia was their facilitator also so it was a blessing to have them along with us on our journey.

This was Jacob during our first meal!! He was a tired boy!!

Well our days in Krivoy Rog were very very busy. Tuesday after an overnight train ride, our day started at 6:15 am getting off the train. We didn't get back to the apartment until 7:00 pm that night. It was a long day, but we got through Tuesday with no real glitches. Then Wednesday our day started at 8:00 am. We left the apartment, went to the orphanage to sign all the final paperwork that we were picking up the kids. Then we left there, not with the kids yet, and went to the bank. The kids each had an account that the government puts in for them and when they are adopted, we are entitled to that money. Well both Jennings and our family signed that money over to the orphanage. It will be enough to help them finish the really nice peaked roof they have started putting on the orphanage. Wonderful!! Then back to the apartment to settle up with the landlady put our bags in the van and back to the orphanage. We gathered the kids for a couple minutes, said our quick goodbye's and we were off... Out FOREVER!! Then it was to the passport office to get the passports applied for. Jacob didn't want to cooperate with the pictures so we had to take him out, feed him and try again! UGH!! Little stinker. It took about an hour longer there then we anticipated.

After we were done, she said the information would be available for us to pick up at 2 pm. We had lunch then at a great italian place (pictured above). Then we went back and picked up the packets to take to the passport office in Dnepropetrovsk. It was about a 2 1/2 hour drive. The plan was to drop that stuff off, sign the papwork to allow our driver to pick up the passports on Monday and then get on the fast train (leaving at 5:15pm) to Kiev. Well we didn't leave the passport office until 5:20pm so the train was out of the question. Our driver said he would take us to Kiev (5 hour drive). The cost of this was only about 300 grivna more than the cost of the train and we wouldn't have to deal with our baggage on the train, so we agreed, paid him and we were off. Of course, Mariah and Jacob had blowouts on the way so we stopped to change diapers and clothes a couple times on the way. Jacob and I got into our apartment in Kiev at 2:20 am.

Luckily, the kids were on a pretty strict schedule at the orphanage so they slept most of the drive to Kiev. Car seats are few and far between in Ukraine so we held the kids on our laps. It was hot during the day and a bit uncomfortable at times, but worked out wonderfully.

Once we got here, Jacob was ready to play, but we turned off the lights and both went to sleep. He woke at 8 am with yet another blow out! Stinker!! (Literally!!LOL) So I washed his clothes out in the sink today as I don't have a washing machine in my apartment. They are hanging on the line to dry now, so he will have more clothes to wear!

Today is going to be a quiet day. Jason Jennings is going to look for strollers this afternoon so we have a way to get the kids around. I have a carrier for Jacob, but a stroller would be really nice since we will be here for another week and a couple days. Jason, Debbie and the kids were planning on being ready to go home on Saturday so Jason and the boys are going home on Saturday and Debbie is staying behind with Mariah until all the paperwork is finished. Jacob and I will be moving over to their apartment on Saturday after the others leave so we can save some money and be together! That will be nice because they have a washing machine in their apartment and I can do some laundry before we go home!

I am tired just writing all that. Jacob is napping again now and we will probably venture out later this afternoon to see some things with Jason and Debbie. Not sure what we will see, but we will come up with something. I will update more with more pictures and also when we should expect to have our passports. I have booked a flight for Saturday, June 13th for us to come home. It will be a long day, but we will finally home. I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Blessings!

GOTCHA DAY!!!!

We made it back to Krivoy Rog, but only have to stay one night here!! TODAY IS “GOTCHA DAY!!!!” Can’t you believe it?? It seems so crazy that in just two hours we will be getting our boy FOREVER!!! I have a busy, busy day today but will be back in Kiev tonight or tomorrow morning to wait for passports, so I will post when I am able.. yes, pictures too!!!!!!

Blessings.

Our First (Very Small) Delay!!!

Yulia, our facilitator, called me tonight. She was at the train station and our train that was supposed to depart at 10:55 pm was cancelled. There was another train, but it was leaving in 15 minutes. Well that certainly wasn't enough time for me to get to the train station. So she gave me the option of her going down tonight since she was there and I would take the train tomorrow night or she would wait for me and we would take the train down together. I told her to go ahead and go and I would follow tomorrow. She called me back like 20 minutes later to let me know that she could not get a ticket for tonights train so she tried to book for tomorrow, however there were no tickets available in 2nd class. So our options are... they have cancellations available 6 hours before the train and 2 hours before the train so she is going to get in touch with her contacts to try to get us a sleeper car at those times in 2nd class. If she can't get those, then we will travel 1st class. A bit more expensive, but worth it. IF and we hope this is a big IF they cancel the train tomorrow night again (which I suppose could happen) then we will drive down by car (5 hour car ride) tomorrow night.

I did meet today a wonderful woman who is here with her husband and son and they are adopting. We spent 4 hours at TGI Fridays talking. We didn't want to leave eachother so I think this was God telling me that we needed to spend another day together! So I am very excited about that. The Jennings who have traveled with us and are in Krivoy Rog now are taking the kids to get their passport pictures taken tomorrow and will do what they can to get started on some errands that we were going to all do tomorrow. This shouldn't set us back far, if at all. But another day in Kiev........I packed for nothing! LOL

Will keep you posted and will also post tomorrow about my night last night. I went to the symphony and it was amazing. Will post more about that in the morning.... right now, I am wiped and am going to bed!!

Blessings.

Q & A

I have had a lot of questions through our blog and via email so I am going to do my best to answer those now.

 

very cute, how old was he?” (referring to his file photo from SDA)

I am not exactly sure how old he was in that photo, but I am guessing around 3 months old which is how old he was when he came to the orphanage!

 

How old was he when he was separated from his birth parents? Have they seen him since?

He was given up at birth when they confirmed Down Syndrome in the maternity house.  His parents married when she found out she was pregnant and after Jacob was born, they divorced.  They have not had any other children, either of them.  They have not seen him since, however because we needed to have them sign a document that was incomplete, they know that he is being adopted.  His birth mother would like to see pictures once a year if we are willing to email them to her, which we are and she is very happy that he is being adopted.  I think she really loved him, but in this society, it is just too difficult to keep children with DS.

 

How old is he? Does he seem to be on target developmentally?

He will be 2 on July 30th.  He is behind developmentally.  He is not sitting up on his own, but does hold his head well.  He rolls over, but doesn’t bear weight on his arms yet.  We’re fixing to change that!!  He doesn’t bear weight on his legs either.  We have found through our visits with him that he does not like therapy.  One day it was cold so we were inside for our visit.  Joe was working with him on his legs and he got soooo mad.  Showed us his temper and then only wanted mommy.  He was mad at daddy!  It was hilarious!  Just wait till the “real” therapy begins when we get home.

 

How do you feel about staying on in a foreign country after your hubby leaves??

Before it actually happened, I was fine with it!  I thought it would be no big deal, but then now that I am here by myself, it does suck!  I mean, not that I am scared, but I like to have someone to do something with and I just don’t.  One of Gillian’s friends called me last night and we might try to meet up later this afternoon/evening.  There is a big celebration in Kiev today and tomorrow, but I am not quite sure what it is.  I was given a name and phone number of a gal who could show me around, but I tried to call her last night and there was no answer.  I will probably venture out after a shower and see what is going on, but I have a feeling there might be too many people for my taste not knowing anyone so I may make it a short day and come back and veg in the apartment.

 

When will he be a citizen of the US?

He will be a citizen as soon as we touch down in Chicago on American Soil.  The kind of Visa that he is coming home on makes that possible!  I can’t wait to get to Chicago!!  He will carry dual citizenship until he is 18 years old.  At which time, well I am not exactly sure what happens at that time.  I think we have some time to figure that out when we get home!  LOL

 

How are the kids at home doing while you have been gone?

They are doing remarkably well!  I am actually surprised.  My sister came to our house the day after we left to come here and stayed for 11 days.  She worked wonders in our house while we were gone.  Here is a list of things she accomplished (makes me look like a bad wife and mother—LOL)  Cleaned our carpets, Painted Josie and Katie’s room, Painted our front window and door, rearranged my cupboards (THANK GOD), Cooked, Took the kids to the Library several times, and last but definitely not least POTTY TRAINED KATIE – EVEN DURING THE NIGHT!!  Is she not amazing?   Katie is now wearing big girl panties all the time even at night and hasn’t had an accident.  WHAT A BIG GIRL!!  I am so proud of her.  She has a memory like a hawk though.  I had told her several months ago that when she went on the big potty, she would get her big girl bed AND be able to go to school.  So she asked me on Skype after she was potty trained if I would bring home her big girl bed and when she got to go to school?  Little stinker.  Well big girl beds are already purchased so that is good and school will start in the fall for her!  Whew…at least I can really produce on those two promises.  Thank goodness I didn’t tell her we’d get a dog!!  Josie is doing great.  I have noticed her speech is even better than when we left.  School does great things for that girl!  When we are Skype’ing, she just stares at the monitor and I can tell she misses us.  She keep saying “Hi Mommy—I love you"  It breaks my heart, but she seems happy, I think she just really wants to give us big big hugs!!  Owen is getting into trouble as usual.  He peeks his head in from time to time on the camera and says “Hi mom” “Hi Dad” then is off getting into something.  I think he uses the distraction of the computer as a “I’m free to do what I want” time.  They are going to be sooo happy to see Joe when he gets home today!  I can’t even imagine how excited they are going to be!  I can’t wait to talk to them later today!!

 

Well I thought there were more questions, and there may be, but my fingers are tired of typing for right now, so I will address more later! Off to shower and try to enjoy some of this day, it is beautiful today!!!

Blessings.

Back in Kiev…

Well I am back in Kiev until Sunday evening when I will take the train back to Krivoy Rog.  We got up at 2:30 am this morning and got Joe all packed up.  Then at 3:30 am our driver came to get us to take Joe to the airport.  He has love his time here and we got so much closer during this process (if that is at all possible) and he was sad to leave me and Jacob here, however he is very much looking forward to getting home to American soil.  The first things on his agenda are Diet Pepsi and Skoal.  He brought come chew with him (I know nasty habit), but it wasn’t enough to last the entire stay so for the past 4 days he has been out.  Not something you find any of in Ukraine.  I am sure first thing in Chicago or even in Frankfurt he will buy some if he can!  LOL

I am sitting in the apartment today.  Waiting for a phone call because I am changing apartments to one closer to downtown at some point today.  If that comes here soon, I will venture out today.  Well I have to venture out at some point because I have NO food in the apartment, but so far, I am not real hungry.  Tonight I might head over to TGI Friday’s for some dinner, but we will see. 

I am missing my WHOLE family today.  The kids at home, Joe and of course Jacob as we haven’t seen him since the afternoon visit on Wednesday.  I am hoping to hook up with someone here that speaks English either later tonight or tomorrow, but I am not sure that is going to happen.  Will keep you posted!!

Blessings!
