Our boys like water guns

We did not get to go to the orphanage this morning because we were looking for a place to live. We are staying in a hotel again tonight and then tomorrow we will go to a place that is like a health resort and they serve 3 meals a day.

We went to a pizza place for lunch and it was absolutely the best pizza we have ever ate. We walked back to our motel about 2 miles so we are getting plenty of exercise. We also went to the market and purchased water guns for the boys.

Our visit at the orphanage was very good today. When we got there the asst. director said that Luke cried this morning because we did not come visit. That made me very happy. When he came in the room he climbed right up in James lap and had his beach ball that we brought to him yesterday. Micah came in and was very excited to see James. Luke sat in my lap and then we all went outside to play.

We got out the water guns and their eyes lit up. They had a blast squirting each other and squirting Papa. One of the water guns was broke so we had to go buy another one tonight. Micah is full of energy and always being silly. He still talks a lot of baby talk but we feel he will grow out of this the more he learns English.

We traced their feet on paper so we can go buy shoes and I will take a measuring tape tomorrow to measure them. They giggled when we were tracing their feet.

Natalia had to get on to Micah because he was misbehaving and he got very sad. By the time we got inside to say goodbye he was feeling a little better. He let us kiss his cheek and waved goodbye.

We took Luke upstairs and his caretaker spoke a little English and she told him to say goodbye. After we said it a couple of times he said goodbye in English. He showed us where his locker is and put up his ball and changed his shoes.

We will go back in the morning at 9am and then come back to check out and go to our new home. I finally figured out how to post pictures. There are pictures of the boys. The building is the SDA and the picture of the bed is our motel room. Yes, that is a rug for a bedspread. Jana it is Bila Tserkva inside of Kiev.

The director of the orphanage is on vacation so when she returns on Tuesday we will get the paperwork to submit for a court date. Until tomorrow, God Bless!

Mark showed the picture to the church and everyone just oohed and ahhed and the whole gang is really excited. Caleb is pretty excited for some more BOYS his age to be a part of our wonderful church family. BOYS!!! They are wonderful!!! They are so beautiful. If it's possible to tell them - let them know how many people are really overjoyed that God has let them come into your lives and ours too.
LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!
