After lunch, we received the children's passports. Hurrah! I went directly to the Romanian Embassy for their transit visa. I didn't have the updated tickets so they would not process the visas. However, I will be there at 8 am tomorrow and they promised to have the visas by the afternoon. We have an exit interview with the U.S. consulate here in Moldova at 2 pm Tuesday. I purchased the train tickets to Romania and we will leave Moldova on Wednesday night and arrive into Bucharest Romania the next morning. Visit the doctor and U.S. Embassy on Thursday and fly home on Friday. We have a direct flight from Bucharest to JFK and onto Atlanta (around 9 pm EST). We do have a tight connection in JFK airport so this could change Fri. night. There were not any seats available into Birmingham. Thanks for everyone's postings to the blog. We have certainly felt everyone's prayers during the past few days.
This weekend, we spent two nights with our friends in the village of Cortjeuz (4 hours north of us). They had a great time meeting our new family and we needed a change of scenery. Rylan got to experience an outhouse and counted all of their chickens (there were 24). He said that if one was missing it might be on the table for dinner. We can't wait to be sleeping in our bed.
See you soon,
Mark

Yea!!! You're coming home!! We are so excited!!! So...when will you be arriving in Birmingham? You said you have have flights arriving in Atlanta on Friday evening..will you spend the night and be in Bham on Saturday? Please let us know! We have been praying for you guys and can't wait to see you!! The weather is cold here today...about 45 degrees. But it is sunny and I'm sure nothing compared to what you've experienced!! Rylan, looks like you may only miss 2 games after all..the game this past Saturday was cancelled due to "snow"..ha!! It did snow, but the roads were completely fine..I guess you can't be too careful. So they will make up that game at the end of the season..so you'll make 5 games!! Jack is having fun with it, but he misses having a buddy on the team with him..and we've only been to Moe's ONE TIME!! Can you believe that? Okay...keep us posted! We love and miss you all and can't wait to see you!!

Hello Chapmans! Some of us are back in Birmingham. Paula and Chris should be home on Thursday night. So glad that things are going well for you. We look forward to meeting the new kids. The landscape of M17 sure has changed in a hurry! We are praying for a safe return home.
