We were glad to see the Moore family finally at the orphanage. They had their first supervised visit with a Juvenile Services Social Worker and got lots done with their lawyer...good progress and a happy family reunited.
As we entered the orphanage gate to the grounds, Jessie ran to Lucas. She jumped up on him and hugs him with her two front legs around his shoulders. It's cute...kinda like Elliott and ET. They are also very protective of one another. Lucas watches after her that she is safe from other dogs, doesn't chase cats (as she does), isn't chased off herself as she was by a Babushka after she barked at her. Lucas called her a "mean grandma."
It was great to see Sasha as usual. We hung out 50/50 outdoors and indoors in the "play" area next to their dining hall (most of our indoor pictures for the past couple weeks are taken there). Outside was bicycling, scooter, swing, climbing and a little soccer. Indoors was playing on the pull up bars/ladders, in the tub full of sensory balls as well as our new dice game and tea-cookies.
Yesterday, the music teacher, a delightful woman, sat at her piano (in the play area) and sampled many selections of music on her CD player for an upcoming concert that children will perform. Some of the music was absolutely American or Canadian as in the case of a Bryan Adams song. We started to spontaneously do a little karaoke, bouncin' to the beat and then, breakin' out in dance. It was fun and the music teacher encouraged us too. Little did she know what she was encouraging.
We talked with Sasha and Lucas about court tomorrow. We're all mostly excited but still prayin' it through. Igor just called me, as I was posting, to review the timeline. We ask God to go before us to prepare the way and set His ambushments against the enemy. We invite His presence to be upon us all (including the Judge) during this meeting/court time. And we trust Him and give Him all the glory for what He's done and will do.
Thank you for your continued prayers. We so treasure them as does the Lord!
Psalm 145:3 Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.

Hi Jeanne! I have been catching up on all of your posts. Mom and Dad have been keeping me up to date on the events but I now see that God has led me here today so I can pray that all goes well in court for you! I am beyond thrilled that things are coming together and you will soon be home. I hope you are planning a huge homecoming party!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you all!
