WE HAVE A COURT DATE!

We are thrilled because Sveta called and we have a July 15th court date. We will be heading back to Ukraine on July 12th so we can make sure we have an extra travel day in case something happens.
Praise God he is so faithful, even when we get discouraged with all the road blocks. I am jumping up and down and singing we can not wait to be reunited with Lena.
I have to tell you one quick thing (I know unusual for me to be short with words) I brought home a video for our other kids that I made of Lena and some of her friends. They were speaking Russian which I couldn't understand, but as soon as my girls saw it they told me that when Lena was filming her friends they were telling her "Lena we are so happy for you this is the dream you have always talked about. You finally have the family you always wanted. You have waited so long. Your mama and papa love you and you are getting to go to America. We will miss you so much but we are glad that you will have a better life."
Wow, it is gives me chills to think she has been waiting for us for so long. Her wait is almost at an end and we are so blessed and happy to be adding such a wonderful daughter to our family.

  2. She sounds wonderful, as do her friends. How selfless of them to be so happy for her when you know they all are longing for families also. What good friends she has.

  5. Thanks for the offer. Too bad the Tex-Mex won't last! lol Sveta told us about the date before she left. Only five days after ours:) Lena misses you terribly.

    We've found a couple of new places to eat. Cheap, too!

    BTW - now we know who to blame for the plane's engine trouble;) lol
