September 30, 2009 - #2

It rained and turned a little cold here today. We came to the cafe for coffee and there were some computers available.

The girls at the orphanage told me there is a shower they use for bathing. If I understood correctly the boys use it one day and the girls the next. The older children take care of the younger children and babies and make sure they are dressed and fed on time. They share everything and are like one big family.

Bogdan has really gotten comfortable with us and now comes to us for hugs when we first get there. They tell us he has no problem learning and makes all A's. He knows some English but not enough to do well in a class room. We will probably have to hire a tutor to help him with English so we can start him in school ASAP. He is also very energetic and Charles is going to have his hands full.

We still have not heard a court date but our facilitator should call us tonight and let us know something.

Thanks for all the comments and prayers. Thank you Vickie for sending the blog address to everyone.

  1. Hey Vicki,

    Please let Charles and Lisa know that we are praying for them and Bogdan. I don't blog, but I do read them. I noticed that they have the name "Matthew" next to Bogdan. It means "Gift of God." It is so fitting!! Now you know why we named our first born "Matthew."

  2. Praying the court date will be soon. Hey, you all should just go see Andy and Jen for the 10 days. That would be cheaper!!

    Everyone is so excited about your new child. We are with you in prayer daily. What size clothes does he wear?

    Love you, Vicki
