12th day


We are almost there, two more days of required bonding and we are done and we will be one step further to adding Ivan to our family. On Tuesday Irena will bring our papers to court and we will wait for our court date...Pray that the date is set quickly and we can come home one the 24th of July as scheduled.

I feel like I wright the same things all the time but our days are mostly all the same. We are getting alittle bored now and then, but we know what we came to do and we are going to see it through, but it's not always easy, missing home and the girls sometimes.

Had a good time with Ivan again he was alittle tired today we asked if he woke up on the wrong side of the bed, Irena thought that was funny, she also laughed when Paul was pushing Ivan on the swing and Paul said "Ivan would you like an under dog?" she looked at us and said "what is that "we showed her and she want to remember that word. She also thinks it funny when we say "It's taking a while" As she say," us Americans have funny words sometimes." Ivan gave us hugs and kisses good bye, waved and said "PaKa" (BYE) mama and papa.

We are heading out for supper to the pizza house with Patrick,Shelia, and Jonathon. This will be interesting. They got Jonathon on Wed. night. We'll talk tomorrow.

Paul, Vicki, and Ivan

What a neat picture!
How do they explain to Ivan that you will have to go away for a while before he can go home with you? I hope they do a good job with that so he's is not too sad! We will continue to pray for that transition too-that the time will be short and will go fast-for all of you!
The market was a highlight for us in Moscow too! They do like Americans-some like us because they think we have lots of money-if only they knew!(:
We love hearing about your day even if it is the same ole thing! It's just fun imagining how he will react to his new life as your son-and having 3 dotting sisters!
We'll be praying all goes well this week-that the court date will be soon and no issues with your trip coming home/no delays!
Love you guys!
