As I write this, our 4 children are sleeping in our flat! We received permission to allow Natalie and Benjamin sleep over tonight. They are really happy to be here. It was a rowdy "time to sleep" time, but they are all finally down. Tomorrow, we are taking Natalie's friend ice skating. She has been talking about that alot and we hope it brings them both joy!
Many ways God is showing us that He loves us these days and is in the small things in our life - Our friend, Cathy, called tonight. She is in Poltava. We are hoping to get with her tomorrow, as well. Another friend called us from the States. It was wonderful to hear her voice! Our facilitator is bringing us peanut butter!!
We mostly have been hanging out, playing, eating, etc.. We did try to go to the circus today, but it fell through. We didn't know where it was and it started to rain. Hoping to do that next week.
Not alot new, of course. Looking forward to Tuesday so that we can get this process moving forward. Please pray that God will allow us many working hours in our day on Tuesday to complete birth certificates and tax papers and favor with all the people we encounter on Tuesday. We really need both of these completed on Tuesday in order to get home at the earliest date we have estimated.

I removed my last post because my brain was working faster than my fingers and I didn't see the typos until after. Ha!
Let's try again.
How exciting to be inching ever forward. I hope you have a wonderful time with Cathy and at the rink. Keeping you in our prayers!
Praying your remaining paperwork goes extra smoothly! Bet the slumber party was fun! Blessings to you all!
So excited they got to stay with you all. I know you loved it!! Hope all goes well ice skating. What a great opportunity to touch even another little child's life.
I'm sure the kids were so excited it was hard for them to think of sleeping! Isn't it funny how it takes weeks in a foreign country to appreciate the little things? I don't care for peanut butter but I sure love Nutella. They have it in Ukraine in many more sizes than I can find here. I'm looking forward to buying it there because it's a treat that I don't get very often.
