Just wanted to let you know that Ted is back at the apartment with us. Valera was so excited to see him. He showed Ted the new movies and books he got. Attached you will see the UNO tally sheet that we have been keeping. Valera was proud to show Ted that. Valera was cracking us up as he used his hands and sound effects to describe what it is like playing soccer with me, when I'm the goalie. It was like watching a mini Tom and Jerry episode. I had to defend myself
saying that Valera has a strong kick.
As we looked at the calendar and reminded Valera that we have court tomorrow, he put out two hands as if he were weighing the options. He said, "Ukraine...America" then he tipped the scale to America.
A great way to end the day.
So thankful that Ted, luggage and deodorant are back in the same town as you, Pa and Valera. We continue to pray for your illness and know that God will provide your needs. Drink LOTS of water ... the no gas kind...out of a bottle!!!
ReplyDeletePraying for the last day in Ukraine to come fast. love, karol
Ted, Erin and I are working late and checking the blog. By the time we get in tomorrow you'll have been to court and will be one step closer to bringing Valera home. We can't wait to see you and meet him!! Your favorite underlings, Erin and Robyn

ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better and that all went well in court. I must say I have been impatient today and I keep checking the blog. XO, Melissa
ReplyDeleteWas going to wait to comment about court but decided just to comment now too. Sorry everyone is feeling down. It's hard to be sick in a foreign place. Hope you are all well soon and bsck to playing lots of UNO.
ReplyDeleteAm praying that the court hearing went well and that you can start the mad dash to get the birth certificate and all the other things during the 10 day wait. Will be anxious to hear how it went.
Blessings,
Laura
I have been eagerly reading your blog as your journey progresses and there are very few that do not bring me to tears. I have been praying and thinking about each of you. So happy to hear that you have successfully passed another major milestone! So, the next one is in 10 days and then you go home as a family, right? Ok, I am crying again. Hope that you are all on the mend and that time is passing as quickly as possible!
