Oh, what a day!

Today, I woke with a scratchy throat and a gooey eye....nice. I slept terribly and was in a grump of a mood (ask my husband who thought it smart to ask me questions I cared not answer). Thank God, God turned me around! We went for our morning visit, I had no intentions of holding Jadon today with me feeling icky. I DO NOT want him getting funky by my own recourse. Well, wee-man had ideas of his own and crawled down off of Daddy over to me :) Melt my heart. To start you off.....check out my hubby's cool elf shoes!!! LOL the nanny that gave him these just laughed!!!

We came home, had lunch, called home to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSHUA!!! AUNT KiKi LOVES YOU and then got ready to leave again. As we left, I called Kate to ask her to call orphanage to see if we could take Jadon outside. It is BEAUTIFUL here today.

As you can see, they granted us our wish to take him out AND he was NOT put in a snow suit!! LOL

We were nearing the end of our visit when I got a call from Serge telling me what was going on in Kiev with our paperwork and that we would have court Thursday...you know, TOMORROW!! We gave Jadon back to his nanny and we saw our lawyer, Natasha, she said court tomorrow at 2 o'clock.

So, right now, it is 7:30 p.m. so in 18.5 hours we have court and start our paper chase :) Prayerfully, our request to waive the 10 days will be honored and we will be back in Kiev this time next week and on our way home Saturday or Sunday.

Love,
