Julie and Sue travel to pick up Taryn
Hi everyone,
The travel plans have been confirmed.
Julie and Grandma Sue will be flying back to Moscow on Saturday, October 11th. We arrive on the 12th, and we will see our daughter on Monday, October 13th.
We will keep her forever on that very day!
We will have some medical things to do on the 13th and on to the US Embassy on the 14th and then some final paperwork on the 15th and if everything goes as planned, we will begin flying home on Delta Airlines from Moscow to Atlanta to Flint on Thursday October 16th. Times of flights are still up in the air, but I will post more when I know.
So, we have little more than a week to make our final preparations for her arrival into our lives.
Rick/Dad is staying home this trip.
Thanks for watching and I will post again in the near future.

Family gathering in Holland MI
On Friday, September 26th, Julie's grandmother on her dad's side of the family, Cornelia Jellema, passed away. Beppie (Grandmother in Dutch) was 96 years old and the family matriarch. She immigrated to the United States from the Netherlands with her husband and 5 children who were born there and eventually another daughter born here in Michigan. Our family is going to miss her but we are all at peace with her passing as her earthly body was giving out and we are glad she can now be where she will be forever happy with her husband and Julie's Dad and other family members who have gone before.
The memorial service for Beppie was wonderful. She was able to make one more effort to speak to all of us family about her faith and love of God.
Family came from all across the US on Monday, September 29th; Oregon, Georgia and many parts of Michigan. It was a wonderful day of family fellowship and lots of laughs and pictures. Thank you to all of the family able to travel to be with us on Monday, and to those unable; well you were sadly missed and there in our thoughts.
Thank you Beppie for very wonderful memories, great parties, lots of dried beef, orange candy slices, and rubs on the cheek. We love you and will miss you. Peace to you and be at rest.
