The past few days have been busy. We have been learning more about our children- all of them. We see happiness, fears, joy, uncertainity, so many mixes of emotions. This is true of the parents, as well! We know we must lean on God alone, as He alone will equip us daily to parent our children.
Thursday, we went ice skating with friends and then to eat. It was a large group and alot of fun. In the evening, we played around at home. On Friday, we went to the Last Bell ceremony at the orphanage. This is the last day of school where everyone graduates to the next grade. It was an elaborate celebration and I am thankful I was able to watch. Afterwards, we spent a few hours at the amusement park with friends. It was alot of fun. The last few days have really helped with our homesickness and giving us that extra spark we needed to keep going.
We found out later in the day that our passports should be here on Tuesday. So, our plan is to travel to Kiev on Tuesday, finish up the rest of the paperwork and fly back home on Thursday. We will spend the night in the airport in Paris, but I am up for anything to get back home. Please pray that our paperwork in Kiev will be completed in one day, Wednesday.

Thanks! After my conversation today with T I needed that reminder. She is scared, nervous and unsure. I pray Father calms her and gives her peace!
