I confess. I've been fantasizing about getting "the call" all week long. The news is out on the message boards that families are getting court dates and well, we have all our paperwork there and translated and... (get the picture?)

We arrived home from work to a message from Irina letting us know that Zina had another letter from Slava telling us he wanted to come home. WOW! I didn't even know Zina was making another trip out to see the kids. I am looking forward to seeing his letter and reading (via translation) what he had to say. Wow and more wow! She also has asked us to redo one of our documents (the letter to petition the court to waive the first trip). Of course, it's never really that simple. We will need to not just reprint the corrected copy, but also get it notarized and - you guessed it!- apostilled!!!! and that means ANOTHER trip to Lansing. Matt's parents have been really great about allowing us time to zoom over there for half a day (and missing work), but it's hard for us to keep asking.... we need an answer to a prayer of how we are going to do this.

That's all for now. We're off to grab a bite to eat.

Be blessed~
