Today was a little hectic. We moved out of the hotel and into the apartment vacated by Holly and Bob Grizenko. They and Sieman's piled into Volva's van on rounds to get new birth certificates and passports for their children on their way to Kiev. We walked to the store for groceries, washed clothes and hung sheets on the line, thankful for a breeze to quickly dry them for use tonight.
We were without translators at the orphanage today as Onya and Viktor were doing paperwork with the other families. It was strangely quiet in the play room minus all the other children interacting with their parents. The time flew by as we played games and shared snacks. Suddenly Inna said "Taxi," and pointed out the window. It was time to leave, again.
It was strangely comforting making dinner and washing up afterward for the first time since leaving home. I was thankful to be in the kitchen, thankful for more room, thankful for sunny weather and seeing stars again. Thanks all of you for your many prayers on our behalf! Until next time,
Cari
