Each day in Kostanai with our daughter is magical! We only wish that Austin was sharing this experience with us! Just before leaving for Kazakhstan, Carrie's Mom sent the following prayer which has become our daily meditation...
"Dear Lord, please give me...
A few friends who understand me and remain my friends.
A work to do which has real value, without which the world would feel the poorer...
A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed.
An understanding heart...
A sense of humor.
Time for quiet, silent meditation.
A feeling of the presence of God,
And the patience to wait for the coming of these things,
With the wisdom to know them when they come."
Thanks to each and every one of you for your continued contact and kindness. We are now getting all of your emails and they are absolutely sustaining and endearing!

Carrie&Bruce&Austin --
What a blessing! We are so happy for you! Julia is absolutely lovely and she looks like all of you. She seems so content in Carrie's arms. We're delighted to read your messages from so far away -- Austin we're impressed that you could help Bruce and Carrie do this. Isn't this a grand age that we're living in? What a great time for Julia to join your happy family. Keep writing, and we'll keep reading. Savor every moment. Can't wait to meet little Julia in person.
Love, Maria & Dave (and Carmen, Eliane, Jacqueline)
Hey guys,
Keep the pictures coming!!! She is absolutely beautiful. I can't believe how happy she is - a little ham in front of the camera.

Miss you each and every day.
