Dictionary definition for the word 'limbo':

       An intermediate, transitional or midway, state or place.

That sums it up!

When we call Jason (Sasha) each day there are two things he consistently asks:
1.) "Where Lucas?"
2.) "Mom, you come to me _____(today, the number was "9") days?"

Now, for the first daily question our usual answer is that Lucas is at school. Today, being a Saturday, we had Lucas ready. Lucas has perfected his Eastern European accent by now so we get a good chuckle when the two brothers talk to each other. They have worked out their own dialogue and it's fun to listen to. We have captured some of the banter on video as it will be great to hear in the future.

Now, for the second daily question. When we verify his countdown accuracy to Jeanne's arrival Jason inevitably says with a measure of disappointment "That many days? That big wait!" Jeanne mercifully and wisely resists the temptation to comment to the contrary. Her 'tasks to complete before travel' list is greater than the days to finish them! More importantly it's always heartening to hear Jason's eagerness and know that he pines for he his new life and family.

One big blessing is coming Jason's way tomorrow (Sunday). The Moore family (adopting Anya and Artium) have invited him to attend the dolphin show - an attraction we drove by on the bus each day to the orphanage. Bless you, Moore's!
