God's Butterfly Kisses

June 28, 2009
Hello! Sorry that I have been slacking on the pics a bit. Our coordinator was in to see us for a couple of days and we had some things that needed to be taken care of. We should find out our court date tomorrow. Flights don't fly daily out of Semey. Not to worry though, we have checked the flights and it looks like the earliest that we would arrive in Rochester would be Friday, June 10 in the evening, but I really think it will be Saturday, June 11th in the evening. Thomas will fly out of Rochester early Monday, June 13th, and I am going to stay with the kids another week. Hope you Prame's don't mind! Layla is doing great! We are 50/50 at this point that she recognizes us. She is a very happy, go lucky little girl....which is good! We lost power for a bit yesterday, we still don't have hot water. Thankfully, there was a small hot water heater that Thomas was able to hook up so we can shower. We went to the local bazaar today during our lunch. As always, you see just about everything there from fish sitting out at room temperature to a guy selling a slaughtered cow out of the trunk of his car and dead sheep being carried out. This is truly an amazing journey! We just look at Layla and the other 4 babies being adopted to American families and know how blessed these children will be! Until tomorrow!
