Well 3 days left until the 10 day wait is completed. Actually since here the day is almost over we can start saying 2 days left. We're getting there. Today we hung out in the apt until about noon,then we walked up our street to this little market we found. While in there I discovered it's a bit bigger then we thought. Now we can get just about everything we need right up the street. The bigger store we had been going to is all the way up (or down) Kryshettik, and it's a pretty long walk for Jordan. We met Ira around noon and she walked to the bank with us since we were desperate for funds again. She had waited in the courthouse all morning but the Judge is very busy. She went back after taking us to the bank and was finally able to proof-read our court decree. She's not sure if we can pick it up on Mon or Tues? The 10 days will be up on Sunday, but she said sometimes you have to wait one more day? That would make it 11 days not 10. As far as I'm concerned we should be able to get it on Monday! She also got someone in Vasylkiv to open up the birth certificate office but they need to know what day we will be there. We should be able to go Mon or Tues depending on when we get the decree. There is some other paperwork that needs to be done too, but the whole thing makes my head swim. One encouraging thing she said was that since we need to pay for more days for our apartment we should only pay for 5 days instead of 10.
Slava picked us up at 3pm and we headed off to Borpka again. I think we've visited with Slava more than we visited with our other kids. It was a good visit overall. He loved the toy tools again but got rammy with them and we put them away which he did not like. Wayne made paper airplanes but he wasn't very interested in them. He liked the happy meal toy until he threw it and we took that away too. He enjoyed a clementine and half a banana and a juice box. At least he knows we will feed him! At 5:30pm we had our hugs & kisses and said "paka". At this point we do not know what day we will be picking him up. We will see him Sat & Sun in the morning.
Tonight I'm making Verenicky for dinner. Wayne found a motorcycle race on tv, it's a European race but it works for him! Tomorrow after our visit with Slava, if the weather is still nice, we will walk to souvenier street again for something to do. Sunday we may go to the circus or the zoo with Irina and her 14 year old son, Alexander. We told her we'd like to meet him plus it would be good for Jordan since he's missing his big brothers so much.
Please keep praying for us. God is showing us some things and speaking to us through the Scriptures which I will elaborate on later. Right now we're waiting for and believing God is moving to bring us all home soon! Sorry there are no pictures for this post, I'll try to do better tomorrow! We love & miss you all so much! Come on folks, pray us home! :)
