Dear ones, (as Granny Moberly used to say)
The kids wore me out today. Not Dima and Anya, but all of the rest. One boy tried to get my attention by crying every time someone touched him or he didn't get the ball. He also tried to be angry at me. It sounded like he was cursing me in Russian, though he was probably only 4. All of the need for attention made me stop and wonder about all of these other children's futures. I don't know what will happen to all these kids, but God did give me a great confirmation in my heart that Dima and Anya are OUR children, and always were, and always will be. That feels so wonderful. There are two other really sweet girls who are probably 8 or 9 years old. They have managed to learn a few english words, so every time we see them they say "hallo" and smile and blush as we walk by. We wonder is there any family with a home for them? Today these girls climbed a small tree near the play area and in unison were shouting Pa Pa, Pa Pa, I... Love... You... to me. Wow, can you imagine how this feels for me or for them?!?! God, please find them a home.
We are going to the circus today. It is the last day of the season, so we won't be able to take Dima and Anya. We tried to get them for a day, but were unable since we haven't gone to court yet. We will enjoy it anyway and take lots of pictures. We should be able to take them several days after court and will try the zoo, parks or whatever we can with them. We will enjoy whatever time we get with just the 5 of us.
Happy Easter to everyone. We are spending an unusual one. We woke up about 8:30am and read the Easter story together, prayed and relished in the thoughts of what God and Jesus did for us so long ago. And how powerful it still is today. We walked to McDonald's for lunch (it's the quickest.) and now it's to the circus. Definitely a day we will not forget for many reasons. Enjoy your day and time with our Savior today.

ddddddddddddddddddeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrr eeeevvvvvvveeerrrrryyyybodyy,
Saturday (at the Orphanage) one of the little kids said "I love you" (in English) because he wanted us to take him home. I felt sad for him because he and his brother got ignored by the other kids.
I am excited to go to the circus today. I hope I enjoy it.
Please pray for me in obeying my parents happily.
Thank you for all of the posts. And no Burton's YOU'RE going DOOOOOOOWWWWWNNNN!!!
