Hello,
I just realized I havent blogged all weekend. We were pretty busy. On Saturday we went with Michelle to the orphanage to pick up vitalik and oksana to go have lunch at the local pan pizza restaurant. It was nice that Oksana could join us for the afternoon. We walk a good ways to get pizza. Then we went back to the orphanage to play some board games. It was rainy here so we were limited in what we could do. We took lots of pictures and had a good time visiting.We ended up having to leave and it was still raining, without a umbrella. We road the bus back to the apartment. we were soaked by the time we got back. It was worth it though. We were pretty tired, we went to bed early.
Sunday, we took the bus back to the orphanage to pick up vitalik and Oksana to do some site seeing in the city. We got tired of that after a little while. We decided to make dinner and play some games at our apartment. I made spaghetti and fruit salad. Everyone pitched in to help with all the chopping. We had a nice afternoon.We really like Vikalik very much, he is such a nice kid, he is very funny, he makes us laugh.
Today, we were up early to take care of documents and meet with the Director of the orphanage. All went very well. the Director was very kind and helpful. The social worker gave us some back ground info. on Vitalik and said many good things about Vitalik's character and personality. In the afternoon we went back to the apartment to do some work. Charles did his work for work, and I did laundry and chores around the apartment. We had leftover spaghetti, so Sean and Tracey came over for some dinner and laughs. We had a good time. We will miss them when they leave. Our faciliatator thinks that there is a good chance that we will go to court on Monday. so hopefully charles can head home sometime next week. That will be so nice. I guess it will be me and Vitalik for a while here in Odessa.
We plan to pick up Vitalik tomorrow and take him shopping for a few things. Shopping for clothes isn't easy. All the shopes by us are very expensive. We will have to go to the market by the train station and try to find something.
Prayer reques: inspector to give us positive decision tomorrow. quick court date. Peace and blessings for Joshua and Lauren.
Thanks for your prayers,
Jeri
