Last night we went with Alec and his family to an amusement park in Kirovograd. There are several pictures of Jaryd playing on the rides. Alyssa was not so thrilled with the rides. She played on some of the slides but for the most part just took in the sights.

We talked to the lawyer today and she picked up our official decree. The ten days are officially over and we are the proud parents of three new children. Tomorrow Kevin will go to Donetpretosk to get Jaryd's birth certificate done. I will stay here and get Kailyn and Jacob's done. The lawyer will work with me and Sasha will work with Kevin.

We will pick up the kids on Wednesday and do the passports and bring them home to the apartment. I think the apartment is ready for that, I am not sure.

The next few days will be busy. We still don't know exactly when we will be going to Kiev. That will depend on the passports. I hope we can pay an expedite fee and get them quicker.

We are all growing a little tired. I am looking forward to a quiet day after we get the birth certificates done in the morning. Or at least I hope so. Alyssa and I both could use a little rest. I hope Kevin doesn't get too warn out making the two hour trip. It shouldn't be too hard. At least he will have air conditioning.

Please pray for us as we prepare to have all of our family in a three room apartment. We will need all the help we can get.

Pictures

1. We made this picture today to leave at Kailyn and Jacob's orphanage. It goes in a book that we signed that other adoptive parents have left. Can't believe how much Jacob looks like Kevin.

2. Kailyn looked like an angel today. She was dressed all in white.

3. Jacob worried about the "machina" car.

4. the bumper cars. I thought Jaryd was in the picture but I am not sure now.

5. Jaryd coming down a huge slide.

Talk to you tomorrow.

Kevin, Tammy, Jaryd, Jacob, Alyssa, and Kailyn
