Good News x 3.

#1-Our Interpol Clearance is in which means court is still on for Monday at 10am.

#2-We will be able to get the one day passport for Isaiah on our 2nd trip which means instead of spending 3-4 days in Nikolaev we will only need to be here ONE day!

#3-We were suppose to go to Notary tomorrow but just found out she is going on vacation for a week so we will do it today.

Now we can reschedule tickets and book 2 more for our return trip. Darrell won't be coming back with me but luckily our 13 year old Austin is passport ready so he will come with me. It will sure be nice having an extra set of arms to help with Isaiah. He may be little for a 2 year old but his low muscle tone makes him hard to carry.

Today when we got to the orphanage they were already outside in their same play area. They were having their morning snack outside. It is a cooler day...the humidity is sooooooo much better. All 3 nannies today were very nice and asked us questions as best they could in English. They asked about our family so we showed them our photo album. Everyone is always shocked to hear we have 5 boys back home. I was surprised that one of the nannies has 5 kids herself...all older though. We were told most families have only 1 child...some have 2 and very few have 3. Today was also the first time that we saw so many toys in their play area and before they went back inside some of the kids got to sit in a little swimming pool. The nanny put Isaiah's feet in. We aren't sure what happened today but they never handed Isaiah to us. We stayed with them the whole time they were playing and then when they were done the little ones went into a stroller including Isaiah. After his feet were cleaned in the pool they took him inside. Darrell and I just looked at each other. We did go in to give them their daily diapers. We were asked to bring a few diapers everyday which seems strange as he is not even ours yet but oh well. Before we leave on Monday I will give them the rest of the big bag we bought here so we don't have to stuff them in our already OVERSTUFFED luggage.

While the nanny was pushing the kids in the stroller she was singing and Isaiah would bounce up and down. We could tell he definately understood what she was singing. He seems to get treated very well by everyone. We wish he could come home with us now but knowing how he is cared for will make it easier to leave.
