Today we had a slow moving morning, then we took Jordan up to the playground. He likes it, but there were only small children there today since all the kids his age are in school. We walked down to the underground mall and had pizza for lunch and some pretty good potato pancakes. Slava-driver picked us up at 3pm to take us to see our Slava. Along the way we had to stop off and drop some documents off to our Judge. We had a pretty good visit with our Slava in the small room. He really interacted well with us today. Now we have him saying "good" and when he really gets into it he yells "goody goody"! He likes Slava-driver too. He stays with us often which helps with communication. Our Slava calls him "DA-dah" which means nice man/uncle. I just hope little Slava doesn't think that Mama, Papa, and Da-dah are adopting him! Then Jordan hopped on Papa's back to ride horsey style. Slava loved this and hopped on too! It was very cute. Little Slava's time clock kicked in just before 6pm because he started pointing at the door and intently telling Slava-driver something. So we had our hugs & kisses and said Pa-Ka (bye bye) for now. We returned to our apartment about 7pm to have tea and relax until bed.
Tomorrow Slava-driver might take us to see Iron Mama (huge statue of liberty type monument of mother russia) and the WWII museum. Wayne hasn't been there, but I visited it about 6 years ago. It will be something interesting to do with Jordan to help pass another day.
We're waiting on making a decision about Wayne returning home early. His business is really busy and they just bid on a big job. If they get it then he will have to return home, but if they don't then he will stay the duration. We should know by week's end. Wayne & Slava have a great connection and it would be best for Slava if Papa were here when we change his world forever. Jordan will remain either way because that will be best for Slava too we believe. It's much less scary when there is another little kid in the picture with you. I remember how Jordan cried when we were dropped off at our apartment the day I picked him up from his orphanage. Suddenly it was just him and this strange lady trying to drag him into a strange building. I had to carry him in and we both cried the whole way. But when we walked into our apt and there was Andrii & Anna, he calmed right down and was fine after that. And they had never met each other before that moment. If Wayne must return home, then our daughter Melissa will fly over to help me.
Please keep us in your prayers. Things are going well really, but we feel the need to be home with our other kids, work, and all those responsibilities awaiting us. We love & miss everyone. Please leave a comment, email us, or fb. We love hearing from you!
