A Good Little Traveler


We're back from traveling all around western Washington. It was so good to see family and friends, and Anneka was such a good little traveler! Among all the people we saw, Anneka was able to meet four more of her great grandparents. Leif's grandma was in the hospital after having open heart surgery. Thankfully, she is doing exceptionally well.

People keep asking us when we're leaving for Siberia. The good news is that our letters of invitation are in progress! We did have to change our flights to the end of February, and we can only get 3 month visas this time. We will use the 3 months in Russia to apply for temporary residency, which lasts for 3 years. The thought of traveling all the way to Siberia and all the way back in a 3 month period (with a baby) seems so exhausting, but we also have peace that God knows what He's doing. And, of course, our parents aren't upset about having to see us again this summer! =)
