Hello, everybody! It's about 3:20 pm here (7:20am in Alabama) on Thursday. Greg, Jackson and I went back to the orphanage today and we had a blast. Once again, the oldest boy (Slavic) came in first and he and Jackson played like crazy. The orphanage director said that he talked about Jackson and already loved him! Then the baby (Rusic) came in and we had a good time playing with him too. Slavic and Jackson would hide from him and we would say "Where's Slavic? Where's Jackson?" And he would look for them....Jackson, too. It was so cute! Jackson and Slavic both had red cheeks and sweaty hair from running around so much. It was so fun. We picked Grandma up and went to lunch. Then, we walked around the marketplace some more. It is misty and cold today, so after that, we just headed home. We think the boys will just mostly be able to wear Jackson's clothes home, except we need to buy them both shoes and a coat. We are planning on staying here in Zhitomir this weekend, but think we may travel back to Kiev for at least a day trip next weekend. We will keep you all posted, though! Many hugs and kisses!

Ok, so I have your blog on speed dial! It sounds like it going so well & I'm very happy for you guys! The boys are beautiful & the first photo I saw all I could think was how much their eyes were like the 3 of ya'll's. And that you already look like a family.
ReplyDeleteWhat an experience this must be. In one week from your appt. so much has happened. I started my work week about that time & have been reading the posts daily & it is definitely the highlight of my day! At first I was sitting on the edge of my seat, nervous for you guys. I hope it all keeps going smoothly & you're home soon! We'll miss you at Bunko this weekend & you can only imagine that you will be the "talk" of our group! Love, Haley
We are thrilled and so happy for you! The boys sound like they are having a good time and learning about one another! This is such valuable time! Nothing can compare! Hopefully the adjustment time when you arrive home will be somewhat easier! We continue to pray for these days as you bond and grow in love as a family! Love and Blessings, Jim and Donna
