| Waiting Period- Days 7 & 8 |
Well, only two more days left. We're at the end finally. A new couple came for their first trip a few days ago. Their orphanage was on the way to ours so we have been able to see our boys the last two days. Yea!!!
Yesterday it was overcast again and the day was very long. We were gone for 8 hours and only got to visit our sons for one of those hours. We had some other errands to run, got pulled over twice, had a flat tire, etc. It was a long day. Even though we sat in the van most of the day, we were exhausted and starving by the time we got back to the hotel.
Today we were suprised when we got to go again. It was a pretty day, in fact it was hot. We finally got to go outside with the boys to play. They love being outside. Their favorite thing today was bubbles. They said the word "bubouz" a lot. We also played catch again. I tried to get a hold of the director today to ask her some things. We haven't had a translator since the first day we were here. Therefore, I went in armed with my dictionary. She didn't understand anything I said. Finally we called one of the translators. We had found out that the boys had been advertised in the newspaper. We asked to see it. We even got a copy of it. The title said, "Looking for a Papa and Mama" and then had their pictures. We also found out that the people who are here getting the 5 and 9 year old boys had received pictures of our boys to consider before we got them. It's been amazing to see how God saved them just for us. They're perfect.
L has gotten quite good at saying "I love you." It is wonderful! E still won't say it in Russian or English. However, he has become very loving and will squeeze the breath out of us!! L has also started giving us kisses, long ones!! Both of them come running right to us. Today they asked the director if they were going with us. She told them that they would go with us in two days. In fact, all of our gifts have been sitting in her office. Today, while we had the translator on the phone, she informed us that they were going to have a big party Friday when we came to get them. Part of the party is us giving the gifts to the kids.
Kids: The boys have Z and J's names down. Z is a common sound here and hers was the first they remembered. J's sounds a little weird, but they say it. They still have a little trouble with E and H. There is a little girl in the orphanage who looks very much like H. Everytime we point to H's picture, they say, "Luba". I think we've finally convinced them you are not Luba, H.
I hope E and Z's ears are better. I'm glad you're getting to see your friends. We leave for Moscow on Saturday and will be able to call there. Hang in there. It's almost over!! We miss you terribly. We love you!!!! |

Hi from mom and dad, I am so VERY happy that the boys are so eager to see you each time and that they hug and say a form of "I love you." And it's great to hear that they are eager to come with you!!!! What a blessing!!!! Also glad to hear that they are saying Z and J. They will soon get the others too. We can't wait to see them and get to hug them.(IF they are willing) We will push ourselves on them if they would prefer not to. And yes, you are on the downside now and know you are all very thrilled with that fact!!!!! The end is near and soon your whole family will be together!!! I can't wait to see the reunion at the airport!! I imagine how it will be all the time and each time its wonderful!!!!! We love you all and look forward to meeting our new "miracle" sons! Love, Mom

It's amazing to see God's hand on your journey. So glad the boys are doing well and enjoying time with you both. Praying for no obstacles on the way home and safe travels.

I read your blog quite often it seems and each time I find something else I want to comment on. Sorry you had such an awful time that one day getting over to see the boys. But am sure it was quite worth it even if you did only get to see them for a short while. I'm anxious to hear all about the party and how those children react to all those gifts for them. I imagine they will be a little overwhelmed for a while. Also very anxious to see how our little ones do with the good-bye and how they react to the car ride, the city, the hotel, and their first (probably) plane flight. So many new things for them and imagine it will all serve the purpose of getting them to realize that they can trust both of you. Will definitely be praying for you and them. Can hardly wait to see them and you. It'll be WONDERFUL!!!!! Love, Mom

Kim, Dad and I are leaving for Branson tomorrow after work and be gone til Sun. evening. I really hate to go in one way because know you will be in Moscow and able to call us. But you know my cell number and you can call that or you can call Jen on late Sat. By Sun. we will be headed home. Dad's been working so much we needed a getaway. Or lets say "I" needed a getaway. Ha We're so anxious to hear from you again as know the next time the boys will be in your arms, never to leave again. By the way, the books are renewed. I owe you 90 cents though as I missed my date. Oops!!! I sure miss my mind!!!! Have an absolutely WONDERFUL day tomorrow at the party and good-bye to the orphanage. Hooray!!!!! We love you all SO MUCH!!!!!
Love, Mom

Thought I'd tell you that we "think" there is an access to a computer at the hotel we are going to so hopefully we can still get some word from you even while you are in Moscow. We sure hope so at least. Just can hardly wait to hear how the orphanage "good-bye" went and how the first night with you went. Also their first plane ride. I hope they weren't too scared!! Hopefully it was just exciting for them and no ear troubles due to the altitude. Love all of you bunches and can hardly wait to hear your voice again and maybe even our new grandsons too.
Love, Mom
