All is good here in Kaz. another warm day, but not as sunny,the wind is blowing and the dirt is flying every where.
We had a good day again with Ivan, he ran and gave me a hug first today, I've been waiting for that first hug. Paul bought him little play kitchen stuff yesterday and boy did he love it. We we had the best pretend food and drink. He was very lovable today I gave him lots of hugs and kisses and he seemed to love the love. Irena says he is better every day with us because he realises that we are not going anywhere and will stay and play with him and when we leave for the day he is OK with that because he know we will be there tomorrow. I don't want to think about leaving him later. But he will be covered in prayer.
Paul and I had lazy day today had lunch, took a nap, went to the market, wrote the blog, make supper, watch a movie, call home and go to bed. So there is our day.
God bless you all
Paul, Vick and Ivan
P.S thank again for responding to the blog and the e-mails

Sounds like things are going really well!! There's nothing like making and eating a little pretend food together with lots of hugs in between! I know how much this must mean to both of you...hooray!!
We're praying that you're bonding process with Ivan continues to go smoothly...and for the girls back at home...that the time will pass quickly for all of you, and that you'll feel God's peace and grace everyday.

Hi guys,
Finally we got our google account to work so we can write. We check the blog every day and love it! Ivan is adorable (as everyone is saying) but he is! We can't wait to meet him! We are praying for you, Ivan and the girls. By the way, your girls are awesome...we had a great time camping and "bonding" with them. We paid a little more attention to them then usual...felt like a little mother bird watching out for them! Loved interacting with them, especially playing Nukum (spell?) they were a riot.Josie taught me how to play Garbage the card game, what a honey.The thought of you adopting has become more and more real and it makes me so emotional! God chose Ivan, to be His child, to be your child, to be brought up to love and serve Him...amazing! We love you, Ron and Karen and fam
What a great diet plan...pretend kitchen...i'm gonna start trying that w/ my family and see if it works ;P Sounds like you have your days down to a great schedule~how fulfilling! Learning to love and be loved by someone hand-picked by God :)a half a world away! Only possible by GOD himself...how beautiful! Love & Prayers...hoping to check in w/ your girls soon to play/sleepover!

So awsome to hear how things are progressing with Ivan. It sounds like he has really taken to you guys and enjoys the time together just as much as you. Is time going fast? It sounds like you are enjoying your free time as well. You are not missing much here except for cool weather. Bring home some heat. Praying for you as well as Ivan.
So happy to hear that Ivan is warming up to you more and more each day. We love reading the blog every day, finding out how things are going, and seeing the pictures. Praying for you as you continue bonding with Ivan, that all will goes well there and for the girls here at home that all is well with them as well.

How fun! You will never regret this time you can spend with Ivan alone. Once he is home, the take over will begin by sisters and family and friends-but he will have that safe haven with mom and dad b/c he got to know you first! We will be praying that the time you are apart will go fast-that was so hard to say goodbye to Andrew-even knowing we would be bringing him home. And we will be praying that he understands, that when you leave in a few days, that you will be back!
Enjoy your sweet little boy and enjoy making those wonderful memories! We are so excited for you guys! Isn't God's timing and plans amazing! God is good, all the time God is good!
Wow what an experience you are having! Just arrived home from vacation and have been reading all about your exciting time out there. I am soo excited for you and glad everything is going well. Keeping your family in our prayers.
