This is it. We are gone from Russia, heading HOME! We are so excited, it feels like we have been gone for a year! We are all leaning forward in our seats as you read this, counting the hours.
We have LOVED getting all the comments and emails of support, it was a main source of entertainment between visits to her. Each morning in that little dank hotel in Siberia, we'd all race to the computer to read them first! We appreciate it, and this trip really highlights, for all of us, the power of belonging to family, and friends.
Here we come, Sylvi can tell something BIG is up with this flight! She can sense the excitement!

Yay!! Hope your travels are smooth and happy. Swing into Hawaii on your way if you can :) So excited for you to unfold the next chapter. Your story has been so incredible - the kind of thing where you seriously want to be a better person after reading it! You're really a testament to the best of humanity and God's grace at work. Thanks so much for sharing it. Hugs to all three of your beautiful kiddos. xoxo Jenny
Each blog entry has brought me to tears, particularly those describing this last month's events. You are all so special, and I hope I get to meet you (well, I've met Kaia but that was when she was a teen) some day. Blessings on you!

Velkommen Home DeBoer Family - thanks for sharing - we miss you Tante Glo - Little Norway!
Your journey has been such an exciting adventure and will make many great stories for years to come for all of you to share. What an amazing experience to have for each of you. Thank you for sharing it with all of us. Its been the community thing to talk about. When the time comes it will be as we already know Sylvi to some extent. Mike thinks it is very cool how Tryg and Karl got to become big brothers, he has kept up with the entire blog as well. What special friends you all are.

We're so glad you're going to be home tonight, safe and sound. JP- Do you suppose you could post one more blog of "the landing at the airport"? All of us who have been following this inspirational story would love to see the "Welcome to America" event taking place tonight. We're sure SEA-TAC has had many wonderful reunions and homecomings, but not many as precious as this one. We are all there in spirit and would love to see the highlights!! Welcome Miss Sylvi Lois DeBoer, US Citizen.. daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin...one very special, little babykins! We loved the thought of you before we saw your picture. Then we saw you and read your story and are now looking forward to our first meeting. We can hardly wait to wrap our arms around you with love, S. & S.
Welcome to America Cousin Sylvi! One day your parents will explain the 17th of May to you, but for now it is wonderful that you also are independent from the "O" and home for good in a free land with parents and family that love you so much! God chose well when he chose Daddy JP and Mamma Kaia for you. Karl and Tryg will protect you all your life and you will feel an awesome love flow to you from your WHOLE family! I hope we get to meet you, sweet Baby Girl! Love forever, your Dixon cousins
