Today was not what we expected, but things did get accomplished. We went to the market and did some shopping for the boys. The weather is getting cold. The boys only had shorts that I had bought them, so we went on a search. I did manage to get one sweatsuit a piece. Some socks for the boys and some tights for Kailyn. It is only supposed to be in the 40's on Saturday. BRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!. I am ready to go back to the dry heat. We are going to go and look a little more in the morning.
As you probably guessed, we do not have the kids yet. Our facilitator got to Doneprotosk to get the birth certificate legalized and it was wrong. He had to go back late this afternoon to the other town. He will be here tomorrow with it. Then hopefully we will go and pick up the kids. On a better note though. We did get the passports applied for. This picture today is of the kids waiting outside the place to have passports made. They were really good. Yes we had to ride in a car. Jacob was wonderful. Kailyn, on the other hand, cried most of the way. Luckily one of the nurses from the Children's Home came with us and she was able to keep her calm. We found out if the music is loud she is happy. I would have never thought she would be the problem in the car. Jacob didn't even wimper. The lawyer told him what was going on and he was wonderful. Jaryd was also great today. He helped with everyone and was a great big brother.
We will pray tomorrow that they will all come home with us. Jaryd seemed to be ready for that today. It seemed like we have turned another small corner with him. Thanks God for that blessing.
There was a new American couple at the Children's Home today. They are adopting the final sibling of a 6 sibling group. They adopted the other 5 three years ago. They are now getting the youngest brother. We have been watching their blog in the past. I do not have it with me while I am here, but it is on my computer at home. What a small world.
Hope to have more news for you tomorrow.
Love to all
Kevin, Tammy, Jaryd, Jacob, Alyssa, and Kailyn

What a precious pic of the kids! Your patience is amazing throughout this process! We know first hand how hard it is and how ready we were to be home about this time in the process and yet, God has enabled you to wait on his timing so patiently!!! Can't wait to hear the news that the kids are with Mama & Papa!!!!

Hang in there! Ah the first car rides, the first this and that. You have many firsts to look forward to with the kids. Sounds like things are coming along.
There are many setbacks and it seems the legal process is two steps forward and one step back. Our facilitator spent an entire day getting our court decree (several pages hand written and hand copied) just to find out they copied our passport #'s wrong and the whole thing had to be done all over again. Little delays like that drove us crazy towards the end when you are so ready to get the kids home.
Uh oh! You're going to have to get that girl an IPOD quick! Can't wait to see them all! We are still taking classes right now, and things just don't move as quickly as we would like but at least we are making progress!
