Well we finally got internet in our apartment, so I've checked my email (44 new) and now I'm doing this and then I'm going to try to call people. We don't have many new things to say about the girls, we only got to visit Julia today because of the Holiday of the Protection of Children, which is Sunday, and apparently they are making preparations at the baby house and could not let us go to see Angela. But we will see her tomorrow and sunday and we will not get to go to Kachiry to see Julia again until Monday. :( We did have a good visit with her today. She came and initiated a hug with me, which was huge. Yesterday, she hugged me when I hugged her and did not seem to mind, but never did it unless one of us initiated or someone told her to. but today she came and sat on my lap and put her arms around me. I felt that first string of love connecting my heart to her.
Random fact about Pavlodar...the mosquitoes here are worse than in south Louisiana. And they are even worse in Kachiry. We can't even play outside with Julia because they might carry us all away:)
We met some other Americans here today and are planning to meet up with them tomorrow afternoon and go have some fun. They are here for research for a doctoral dissertation. They have been living in a village in Russia for the last 3 months and now they are in Kazakhstan for about 10 months. They have a little boy Nicholas's age and they were really happy to see another kid who speaks English. We expect to have a fun day tomorrow, with visiting Angela in the morning and hanging out with them in the afternoon.
Blessing all! We love and miss you!

As we sit here listening to Hosanna sing "The Battle Belongs to the Lord" and reading your wonderful news, I am reminded once again of how much God loves us. Your news about Julia and Angelica is fabulous! We will continue to pray for all of you and look forward to holding each of the girls and Nicholas when return. Hopefully, God will make that soon.
