Learning English

Many of the children here are eager to learn English, each day we spend some time teaching them with English/Russian picture books. Anastasiya is not as interested as some of the other children, we are working on that. Today the judge told Syvette that we have a court date for Wednesday, 28th at noon. God is so good! We were praying for Wednesday so we could fly home Friday. That is the earliest possible date we could recieve because Ukranian law states that their must be a minimum of 7 days between the local SDA document submission and court, Wed. is exactly 7 days. Syvette is still in Kiev filing paperwork. She is a very busy lady. She is helping organize the children's trip to America also. Today she called us and said everything was set for Wednesday except....she does not have our Interpol clearances, she will be going to the SDA in Kiev tomorrow to try to locate them. Pray that she is able to get them or we cannot go to court Wed. I am not worried, God will go before us, I am sure He will have everything in order. We filled the Interpol applications out and sent them with our original documents. WE took some really adorable pitures of Anastasiya today in a GAP outfit we brought for her from home. She was so precious, her face lit up all over when we gave it to her. She couldn't wait to put it on and she just beamed once she had it on. Heather the clothes we bought for her or should I say the wardrobe we have for her at home will fit perfectly. She is size 8 or small 10 and shoe size 2 1/2. That may be dangerous to tell Heather she will be on a shopping spree. LOL We can't post any of the pictures in her new outfit, she batted her big blue eyes at Papa and pleaded to keep the camera at the orphanage to take pictures with all her friends so he left her keep it so now we don't have todays pictures. She knows just how to get what she wants with Papa. Russie, Ryan, Heath, Heather and Isaac you better sit down before you read the next sentence....Papa and Mama have a role reversal going on, Mama is the disciplinarian and Papa gives in to everything Ana wants!
