Beautiful day

Today was the first day we had the kids all day. Last night, David brought Natalie and Benjamin home around 7:45. They were really wound up and were so excited to be here. We got so many hugs and kisses from them. I think Benjamin would have jumped around all night. Natalie had already brought her belongings throughout the week and Benjamin carried a small bag of clothes- most of them we bought for him earlier in the year. We all got baths and were in bed by 11:00. It took a while to get them to sleep, but after I laid down with them, out they went.

Today, we woke early and hung around the flat. Benjamin is running a small fever and has a cold. About 11:30, we went to sign papers at the passport office. This is the beginning of getting our passports. Next, off the play then to the market. Back to the flat. After a bit, Benjamin wanted to go to the internat to get the rest of his clothes. So we walked there. Most of his things were too small, so we left them, but he did bring home his backpack. We walked back to the flat. Had a quiet night and got the kids to sleep around 10:00.

Tomorrow, we are getting some documents scanned for the passports and should know a date to fly home so that we can start to plan our flight. Also hoping to connect with the Hall family, here to adopt, and our friend, Cathy.

Please pray that we will find out that our passports will be ready by the first of next week. Also, pray for our family's adjustment- especially Jacob and Caleb.
