We had a great time this past weekend. The circus was pretty cool. The first half had dancers, acrobats, clowns, and animals doing tricks, then the second half was more like a magic show. Vacya loved it. On Sunday we went out for pizza after church, went to see the movie "Journey to the Center of the Earth" in the afternoon, then had cake and ice cream for Shelby's birthday in the evening. Vacya really liked the movie. It was in Ukrainian, which he doesn't know very well, but it had enough action that we all enjoyed it even though we couldn't understand most of the talking.
Andrei has our paperwork from the court and now we're just waiting for the regional inspector to sign something before we can go back out to the orphanage to get Vacya signed out for good. We had to take him back there this morning, which he wasn't too thrilled about, but should be able to have him again by this afternoon. Andrei has already notified the lawyer for the orphanage that the paperwork is ready, so she is going to begin preparing things on her side to have it ready when we get there with the court documents.

Glad you had such fun this weekend! A good idea for Andrei to get the orphanage lawyer a heads up. That way this end of the process is already done.
I know it's early, but I'm starting to pray for Vacya's culture shock once he gets home to you and Joe. And for that matter, family shock for you guys too. :) There's so much that he will experience new, and it probably will be a little overwhelming. Of course, we know that it will all work out fine. :)

Sounds like you had a really good weekend. Well soon Vacya will not have to worry about going back to the orphanage! I am praying that the rest of your trip goes swiftly. Love ya, Julie
Jaime,
I spoke with Joe last night and he shared that Vacya is FINALLY with you. Yeah!!! Now, hopefully things will move quickly.
I'm sure Vacya is loving spending time with his new cousins! Who would have thought that after all of these years in the orphanage they would end up related? They will appreciate this years to come.
Love, Mom
