Hey everyone! 8:19pm Sunday here (12:19pm there) and we are just winding down for the night. We did go to the orphanage yesterday. We got to see both boys and we had a good time with them. We took tattoos and put them on them. It was really cute to watch them try to keep them from rubbing off the rest of the time. There is an Italian family who are here adopting a little boy and we keep on seeing them most days we are at the orphanage. Yesterday, they were actually there for our entire visit, so it was neat for all 4 boys to get to play together. We had brought nuts (our boys are crazy for pistachioes) and they had brought gummy bears, so all the boys did a great job sharing with each other. We took the shoes and clothes we had bought for the boys and tried them on them. They were so excited and so eager to help us get them out of their clothes and into their new ones. They were also kind of in awe of the tags on the clothes. I'm assuming they have never had brand new clothes of their very own! It was really neat.....they did not want to take them off, but our driver helped us explain to them that they would get them soon! After the visit, we went to eat pizza. It was delicious as always. After that, Yari (our driver) took us to a local book store. We were able to great some great things to help our 2 new boys once we get home. We also got each of the boys a coloring book with stickers and we got us a pocket-sized Russian to English book. Then we came home for the rest of the day. We had a good time playing some of the games we brought with Jackson. Today, we got up and I cleaned the house a little bit. The landlords had not left us any kind of cleaning product, so we bought some at the market. The bathroom had not really gotten dirty, but there was lint everywhere. We have to air dry all our clothes, even our towels, and I guess our clothes dryers really help out with the lint on clothes at home. Anyway, we now have a clean bathroom again, especially the toilet which Greg cleaned for me, and it feels great! After that, we went for a long walk. The ground has finally frozen, so it is no longer muddy out front. We walked for quite a while, then ate and shopped around a bit, then walked home! It was so cold! But, we were very bundled up and made it pretty well! We got home and got warm and took a rest! Later this evening, mine and Greg's small group (Sunday School Class) called us from church. They all got there early and called us on speaker phone! It was so wonderful to hear from our dear friends. They have been a constant source of support and love for us throughout this whole journey and we are very grateful for them! God has really blessed us with a great group of friends! Of course, it made us even more homesick! But, our journey is a little over half-way completed, so hopefully it is all downhill from here! Well, as always we miss and love you all! Can't wait to see you!
