Feb. 18

Hello. We have 4 visits with him over the weekend and 1 this morning. Yesterdays visits were a little rough, we had no translator, he was in Kiev. Communication was a little frustrating yesterday, nobody in the orphanage speaks English. But, we got thru it somehow. Today went much better. We brought him some juice and cookies and that was a big hit. I had to teach him how to drink from a sippy cup, I don't think he has ever seen one before.
We are getting around the town a little more every day. Found a store today that sells crayons and coloring books, so we will give that a try tonight. We brought a little puzzle with us today, and he knew exactly how to put it back together again. Other than being a little homesick, things are going very well for us. We are eating some very good food, and are not starving to death. Natalie has fed us very well. Please pray that we get a quick court appointment and can come home quickly.

The coloring books and crayons should be fun as long as Andre gets to use them. I know how you like to color..... I'm sure Scott is enjoying the puzzle. Our prayers are with you for an early court appt. and a safe and speedy return.

XOXOXO
