and a 14 hour train ride...I embraced my son today with a million kisses! HE WAS worth it ALL!! I cannot put into words the emotions. We are much more in love with him than we ever dreamed imaginable. He is an absolute perfect fit for our family. He is doing far better than we had expected. He can walk with help but in his little mind he is ready to run and he LOVES to laugh...he is just precious! He is a little taller than Beth but shorter than Luke...he weighs less than Beth, very tiny.He is 6 and looks like he is 2 1/2 or3 and seems to be on the level of a 2 1/2 to 3 year old. We do not think he can talk but he is VERY motivated and VERY energetic. He is not from what we see in critical condition...he is full of life and love. I will try to get pictures tomorrow when we go for our visit. We have visitation everyday while the paperwork process is being completed for court. Please continue to pray for a smooth and quick process so that Mike and I can leave here together with him ( I do not want to be left here alone, it is very intimidating to me here). Continue to pray that would would continue to find favor with the officials specifically those at the orphanage. Pray for our safety (the taxi today was going 120mph on icy roads!! with no seat belts in any of these cars!!) and for our 4 little ones back home and for Sarah and Jody. There is still so much that could fall through and nothing is final until we are on that plane coming home...please keep praying.
Lord willing I will get pictures of him tomorrow....here are a couple pictures from our train ride and our new place we will call home for the rest of our trip here. It is very primitive and is a step or 2 or 3 :) down from our last apartment but we are just thankful it has heat and wireless Internet!! Other than that it does not have much. I think we have warm water but no washer...it seemed to be the nicer place in town (just a few miles from D) so we are thankful for it.
What a funny picture, honey :)
Us in our little train compartment....it was a bit chilly :)
The best we could find here for accommodations, no much but we are thankful for it.
