Yesterday was amazing! Simple summer day! We took Anya and Tanya, Tanya II, Artuem, Vika and Sergey, Oksana, Deniska and Alina all on a picnic. The day was glorious and so much fun!! I taught all the kids Big Booty!! We giggled and laughed so much! Anya kept saying Big Buddha! So fun! Tanya was a bit moody. Not sure what was up with her. I gave her space. Before we ate Linda, a friend and translator, said the blessing. During the prayer the kids giggled. All the adults were perplexed. Later we asked what she said and she said she prayed that Tanya would not be so grumpy but just find happiness. She said it in a light hearted way. She has had several people tell her to be happy and not so grumpy. My sweet baby girl is scared. I can only imagine her thoughts!! Please pray!

Today was another day of waiting...walked around the city a bit. Had dinner with our friends. We laughed alot thanks to Linda!! Love that girl! We are back in the flat now and getting ready for bed. I am not sleepy....anxious like no other. Tomrrow is court. Zhenia called and will be here at our flat at 11:00 to meet with all three families and prepare us for court. Court is at 1:30 starting with the Boycott's, we are at 2:10, and then the Thomas's at 2:50. Please pray for all three families. And I ask you especially to pray for our sweet Tanya.

Until tomorrow....
