Lovinsky's MN Visit!! :)

Ok it's finally time for that blog update... :) 

It's hard to believe that little man's first visit to MINNESOTA has come and gone already!! 3 years of persistence and lots of paperwork and expenses we had an amazing trip to MN for Christmas!! 

God is so good in HIS faithfulness!!

Check out a small glimpse into our visit to MN!! 
We did so many great things and saw so many amazing people we couldn't possibly 
fit it all in this blog!! 
We had a rough start with our carry on luggage being stolen from the back of the truck
 but we moved past it and enjoyed the rest of our trip! God knows.
Look this handsome dude so early in the morning ready to go!! EEKKK!! :) 

Checking out the plane! 

Future aviator?? 

Here we go!! First flight ever!!

He thought the escalators where the best!!

I'm not sure who loved this more!! :)

The cold water was a little shocking! ;)  
We finally made it!! So great to meet family in person!!
It was like they had known each forever!!

My favorite guys!!!
Cousins together!!!
The start of something great!!

It's trickier than it looks!! 

Lots of love!!

So much fun being all together!!!

We have a long ways to go on this adoption journey and but we are so thankful for what God is doing in our lives and the amazing time he gave us in MN!!!
Hoping and praying all three of us can visit MN this summer!! Join us in praying for Lydia's paperwork (birth certificate, passport and visa) to be completed and a visa be granted!!
