It's 7:00 p.m. on Monday night. We are leaving our hotel at 8:00 a.m. in the morning! Yahoo! We are soooo excited to go home and to get settled back in the States with Trey. We realize that tomorrow will be a LONNNGGG day of flights and time changes...but it will be well worth it to get settled and start our life together back at home.
Today we visited the Embassy to get Trey's visa. It was merely a formality to finalize everything and to get the documents necessary for him to immigrate into the United States. Therefore, he will officially be a U.S. citizen tomorrow! Actually, he will remain a Russian citizen for 3 years and then, we can opt to maintain dual citizenship or to let his Russian citizenship expire. Nonetheless, it's amazing that he will officially be a U.S. citizen tomorrow!
We can't wait to update you once we're home to give details on our trip, etc. Please bear with us, though...we are crossing several time zones and trying to establish our lives at home with this little ball of energy.... We hope to post soon...but it may be a few days.
Thanks again for all of your thoughts and prayers during this journey. We still can't believe it's all true!
God's Blessings,
Shane, Kathy, and Trey

I guess by now you are somewhere over the Atlantic, hopefully not too far from home.
I am so thankful for you that your trip to Trey went so well. Your son is beautiful and you all look wonderful together as family.
I'm so excited to hear that you are heading home! It has been a long journey for you, and now you can come home and get settled in as a new family. You continue to be in my prayers.
I'm so glad you'll be on your way home soon!! It was great to talk with you in Russia. You have quite the little diplomat as you said on your hands and what a fantastic smile he has!! You've waited a long time to return home with your son!! We're so happy for you.
Blessings on your trip home! We'll continue to keep you in our prayers! Even though your exciting trip is coming to an end, the adventure is just beginning. Safe travels!
CONGRATULATIONS on your new American son! We are so happy for you and can't wait to hear updates once you get home and get settled in to a routine.
