Anniversary

Joe and I went down to Yalta yesterday to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary.  We had a relaxing time walking along the boardwalk and getting some sun by the pool at our hotel.  We heard from Andrei yesterday that our new court date is scheduled for July 3rd at 9:00am.  We're hoping to get back out to the camp tomorrow to see Vacya and let him know we have a new date.  The camp is about a 70 minute drive from Simferopol and it costs about $80 to take a taxi, so we can't afford to go out there very often.  Unfortunately there are no bus stops near the camp, so we can't take a bus, which would be much cheaper.  We found out that the kids will be at the camp until late August, so we won't have the option of visiting him more often at the orphanage.  We are trying to get permission to pick Vacya up from the camp the day before our new hearing since our appointment is so early in the morning.  It will be hard to get out to the camp and back to Simferopol in time.

Now THIS will be an Anniversary to remember!!!

My co-worker Tonya pointed out that July 3rd is very appropriate being that it is close to our Independence Day!

Love, Dad and Mom

Our prayers are with you, going into this new court date. I am hoping that they give you permission to get Vacya the night before, that would be great. I hope that he has not had too much trouble at the camp since you last seen him.
Love the Hartley family

Good luck with the new court date! Prayers for the most smooth and ACTUAL MEETING to take place, tie up what loose ends need to take place, etc.
