Introduction from Erica

Greetings and Salutations blog readers. I am the third person in this trio of trespassers. When Stacy presented the idea of sponsoring the children in Mongolia for Christmas again, I never in a million years thought that I would be going over there and meeting these little faces. When she did some math and realized that it was worth more (to her heart and soul) to go and bring these gifts to the kiddios, I agreed before I realized what I said. I had offered to go with her to get Seth if Derek was not home from Iraq when they got the call but...that worked out and he was home. I agreed to this plan before I checked with my husband, my work or my school. But doors opened and we are off to Mongolia on Friday. There is one thing I know, this is not about me or a trip to Mongolia, this about the kids. Maiah and Seth were lucky enough to go home with the Petrin crew, but the ones that are still there deserve the right to feel that same sense of love and family. Even if it is only for 6 days. I thank every one who is involved with every ounce of my being and wish everyone a happy, healthy holiday season.
