TODAY a GOOD DAY...

                                                      UNDER COVER !!!!!

TODAY WAS A WONDERFUL DAY WITH CHANCE.  We saw the life of our little boy we left 27 and half weeks ago come back to life.  Yesterday it was very sad seeing him he looked so sad.  But once he realized it was us he perked up and we could see smiles and enjoyed our time together.  He cried when he had to leave and that was really tuff.  But today we saw the LIGHT and HOPE back in his eyes.  He knows we have come back consistantly and that has made a difference.  Thursday will be our last day with him till after court.  We will be back in 30 days to pick him up.  Pray for his spirit while he is without us.  Not to give up on us.  That we are coming back. It just takes time.  But next time will be forever. No more, no shows.  Things we take for granted these ones rely on.  I pray others will see that anyone can do what we have done.  Yes it takes time is it hard yes very hard. Is it worth it forsure it is.  There is so many that needs homes.  All you have to have a heart to trust on God and his provision and providence in something that is out of your control.  This precious one lights up the WORLD with this infectious smile and zeal.  WE are so in love and we pray the JUDGE will see that too. Wish he could go to court so she could see just how much this littl one loves us so much and how much we love him.  I am so proud of our older boys they have just chimmed in the BIG brother role they are thrilled about being big brothers and protecting their little brother.  They cant wait to see him for the 1st time too.  They enjoy listeming to the funny stories it has already brought to our lives. Hilarious You should of seen him eating a Cow Tail for the 1st time today it was hilarious it got stuck to his teeth and he didnt know what to do with it.  So funny.  He totally did not like the cheese and crackers sticks, you know the ones you have the sticks and you dip out the cheese and eat it.  Oh no he did not like that.  spit out if came.  :) I never let children play with my phone well could not help but not today it was sofunny. He would put the phone to his ear speak jimberus Russian and then say PAPAAAA and hand the phone to Phillip and talk it was so funny. SO guess what we are on search of a baby phone for one of his 1st toys since we dont have many. Maybe two.  WE have been so consumed getting ready for the adoption have not had time to worry about toys.  I cant wait to see what Bruster does. That is our dog.  He will just love him to death I know.  Will be interesting to see how he reacts to him.  It has been a great day one we are very blessed by.  Thank Lord for not letting him cry this time.  That was hard and sad.  Thank you for all the smiles and joy and happiness he was today.  Love Anne

We are back with the other HALF of our HEART!!!!

We landed and this time I was so excited to be back with my other part of my heart. There was no fear of the unknown it was just shear Joy of knowing we will see our precious one again. Love our flight.  WE love Luthansea they are bare a wonderful airline. Wonderful food and service.  Very please they make sure you are fed and not hungry that is forsure.  Today we  will get to eat some of that yummy Russia food at our favorite European Restrauant about 2 blocks where we stay and yes we have to walk in the extreme cold conditions. To tired to go get anything last night lived off what got on plane and what brought. I normally am not a cold person but this week I am not bothered by the cold actually delighted I get to snuggle up with my man and excited that God has yet did another miracle and one step closer to bring our precious young One HOME.  WE take each step as a GIFT and do not take it for granted. We know how we have come and how we got here and it has been threw divine interventions and miracles along the way.  We leave at 9:30 am to see our baby its takes about an hr to get there.  I just cant wait enough to see his reaction when he sees us again. I pray we capture it on video so we can let the judge see how happy he is and how happy we are in the choice the Committee gave us in JUNE. What a real treat and blessings.  Will post more as we get further into the week.  Thank you everyone Please pray for favor with all the officials involved in this huge decisions to let us adopt Chance.  We want to here a yes that they indeed will feel good about and know the geniuneness of how much we adore there little boy and that we do feel it a honar to be able to adopt internationally.  Many places , many children to adopt and choice from but this one was hand picked for our family and we are thrilled.  Blessings Anne
