What a great way to start off the week - congratulations to the Serra family and Baby Kaz!!!!!!
These weeks will fly - get ready :)
I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am for you - it has been a long wait and I am so glad that you received the call today! You never know when God's plan unfolds a bit more :) Yay!!!!
YEAAAAAAA! That is the best news I have read this month! I am so darned happy for you! AT LAST - headed to KAZ to meet Baby Kaz. That's less than TWO months from now!
Well, can't play video with dial up but I saw on your comment on Chris and Trish's blog that you received some very good news! Congratulations and a triple somersault hip hip hooray (insert split jump here)! That sounds like the best of all worlds: you get to enjoy your Summer and miss the hottest part of the season in Kaz and have a date to look forward to! And I'm so excited that we'll be back to follow along.
WooHoooo!!! That's only 6 weeks away. But I bet you already knew that. ;) Just a hunch, but I bet the clocks in your house have already started to tick a little faster. Tick, tock, tick, tock....
I'm SO happy for you and can't wait for you to get there.
I told you, I told you...I knew the photo of Joe's surprised look in your last post was a sign of news to come!!!!! (Cute dance Sean BTW.)
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY—the biggest cheerleader of them all is finally going herself. I can't wait to cheer you on—how fun will that be for all of us. You're going to have so much fun.
I'm overjoyed for you guys. Let the packing begin!
I am all teary eyed!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so so so pumped for you Susan!!! I can't believe you have a date!!! August 1st it is! On your way to meet the little one! I loved the video of Sean too, what a dancer. :) A boy after my own heart! :) Did your agency tell you anything? You are traveling blind right? Do tell more, post more! :)
Seriously, you know we have been praying for you and cheering you on, and we cannot wait to follow your journey! You have been the most amazingly postive person throughout this process, and the personal support you have provided to us kept us going on our toughest days. We cannot wait to do the same for you.
Did you have to be so dang creative with your announcement?! When are you going to learn that it just makes the rest of us look like slackers?! LOL
This calls for a few Woo Woos!!! You're kernel finally popped!! I can't believe I did not see this until now (thanks for the heads up Susan). This is such incredible news. We are super excited for you all - though I think Sean may have outdone our excitement level - go Sean, nice happy dance.
Baby Kaz is alive and kicking and your are now on plan to join up in just a few short weeks. This time (as will your time in Kaz) will go by both amazingly fast and painfully slow.
Somehow each present moment lasts forever, and each day passed seems to have flown by. Science can't account for it, though many families can attest to it.
Prepare that which is rational to do, then use the rest of your time to enjoy your summer. Don't waste too much time on the unknown and those things beyond your control. There are simply too many variables in the process to try and prepare for them all.
Pick the big ones which you can effect, and then get yourself into a good space before you leave so that you are ready to handle the realities that will come flying at you in that first week.
Oh we can't wait. Huge hugs to you all. Happy Day! Take Care.
Just had to leave another comment in response to one you left on our blog! Interesting how we communicate these days! I know exactly how you feel about freaking out! When we got the call I was short on sleep because of a very early flight that morning, was out of town and supposed to be in a big meeting all day and the next - and we had only 3 days to prepare to go! I was having my freak out moment at the same time as I needed to be thinking very rationally about preparations (making sure that the visa application was all correct as they only had one day to turn it around - getting our flights, etc.). So I can truly relate to the head spinning anxiousness and excitement all wrapped up on one.
Relish it as you have plenty of time and will have plenty more opportunities between now and 1 August to freak out again (like, when you get on the airplane and it really feels real!).
Congrats again and good luck with final preparations!
Oh my gosh, August 1, thank you s mjuch for emailing, I am so excited, I feel like dancing with Sean. This is great, I am so happy he will also be able to go. Many congratulations for you all, can`t wait for you to go :) Many many hugs, Catalina
Dear Susan and Family, WOW! What excellent news. I can't wait to hear more, and wish for you only the best of success in your quest for "Baby Kaz!" I pray that you get a sweet little munchkin like our little Gigi. Many Blessings, Kaz Grandmama Joyce
I'm dying laughing. August 1st, whoo hoo! Dump the fur boots for sure, and stock up on mosquito stuff!!!!!!!!!!!! Yahoo, and I'll see you Saturday ;-) Shannon
Ok, so I'm a WEEK behind in checking your blog... but SUPER-HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!! What fabulous news!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited for you guys! Are you all packed? (I know I would be! And then I'd unpack it, and pack it again, and probably repeat that, lik 9 times before leaving...)
