Camo Shoes

Good Afternoon,

This morning we took the boys their new shoes so they could try them on. They both wear the same size and we got them camouflage tennis shoes. They absolutely loved them. Natalya explained that those were their new shoes to wear home. they understood and put their old shoes back on. It's amazing that something as simple as a pair of $7.00 tennis shoes could make them so happy.

We have more pictures of Micah because yesterday Luke's group went on another field trip. The way he explained it to Natalya is that he went to a Sunday School class. He said they did not get to play.

Micah loves roughing it up with Papa. He has shown signs of many talents. We are not sure if he will be a boxer, linebacker, mechanic (see pictures of him fixing the tricycle), musician or a comedian. Most likely he'll end up being a preacher.

There are several families adopting from our orphanage. 2 are from Italy and today we found out that another American couple will be arriving tonight. They will be staying in the same hotel with us. Thank goodness we will have someone to speak English with besides each other. Don't get me wrong, we are not tired of each other but when you are the only ones not speaking the language it can be tough.

We got some good news today. We have been waiting on some paperwork to be signed by the Meir in the region where Micah was born. I'm not sure if Meir is another word for Mayor or judge but he finally decided to stop delaying and sign the paperwork. We are praying that Natalya can pick up the paperwork on Monday; bring it back here for the inspector to sign and then take back to Kiev. We are praying to have a court date by next Friday. If so, that would put us being here about another 2-3 weeks. We are so ready to get our boys and go home.

Please continue to pray that our court date will be soon and that this Meir signs everything and has it ready by Monday.
