It is a very nice day, not as hot as the past few days, the sun is shining and it rained last night so not as much dirt blowing around today. We had a good time with Ivan, he was very cuddly today wanting us to carry him places and we gave lots of hugs, one thing he does with me that I love, he gets really close, his face to mine with a great big smile and we rub noses he thinks that is so funny...we call that an Eskimo kiss. He sure is a happy boy, especially when we take out the snacks, he loves his goldfish, smarties or m&m's, and he also gets a drink of water,but not to much....you remember what happened before. Almost forgot we know he understands two English words..swing and more.
We had to go to the Immigration Police....sounds worse than it is. To extend our Visa's, we waited one hour. Then we went out for lunch with Irena and her boyfriend to a new restaurant, a fondue place. Irena has never had this before. she really liked it. Then back to the apartment. We will eat supper in tonight, Paul is going to cook up some fish. We may go to Patrick and Sheila's and meet their son.They just got him from the orphanage yesterday.
Write to you all again tomorrow.
Love Paul,Vicki , and Ivan

I look forward to reading your posts every day. What progress you are making, praise the Lord! Don't you just wish you could jump ahead in time a few months and be all settled in back home with the 6 of you? You have an adorable little boy there! He looks like a VanZalen already!

Hello Paul & Vicki!
It's so cute to look at your pics each day...love that Ivan looks and likes hats...just like his daddy :) We really need to get him a Detroit Tiger cap though~looking forward to spoiling him when he gets 'home' to Meechigan. Praying your days are going well and you are enjoying the culture and new friends!

Paul & Vick, sorry we missed your call. Mom was swimming and I was golfing. We are so thankful that things are going well for you and little Ivan. We will be praying that the court date thing goes smoothly and quick. Hug Ivan for us. Love you,

It is so cool to read your day by day accounts of bonding with Ivan. Brings back memories of those incredible emotions that came with meeting our sons for the first time. God is so good!
