Excellent News!

Our judge has agreed to have our court hearing on June 8th, a week from today!  We'd like to leave Friday so that we have a full day in Pavlodar before court to visit D and prep for court.  We are SO EXCITED!  The crazy part is that our visas will be ready at the consulate in NY on Thursday.  They will have to overnight/early AM deliver the visas to us so that we get them Friday morning and fly out Friday afternoon...pretty short window!  It's a gamble, but what isn't in this process!?!  We are trying to get all the last minute preparations done.  Key word...trying!  We are glad that there is high speed internet at the apartment and can't wait to experience that!  It will make communication to work, family & friends so much easier!

Our coordinator spoke to the Director of the Orphange and she said to tell us that D is doing well.  He misses us very much, but is excited for us to come back with the red remote controlled car!  She said that the staff knows to tell him about the car when he asks about us.  I'm thinking I should get another one just in case there's a baggage handling mishap; establishing trust is so important!!  ;)

Hopefully we'll have travel reservations in the morning!



Goodnight y'all!
