We think we finally got an internet connection. The problem is it only works sometimes! It is so frustrating. We are out in the sticks, literally. The signal was strong enough today to skype our kids and receive 60 e-mails. What a treat to see the faces of our kids and t0 speak with them. We miss them so much. We are so blessed to have the Selby Family, the Chavez Family and the Onareckers helping us out.
We went to church yesterday. What a blessing it was to be on the otherside of the world gathering with other believers. Our interpeuter sat behind us. The sermon was wonderful. There were about 80 people in the congregation. There was something about being in the presence of these people who do not take their freedoms for granted! Their worship was so sweet it nearly brought tears to my eyes.
Yes, we have seen "V" and "M" Michelle. I have taken several pictures. I think "M" and Justin are best friends. We had Justin take them a treat on Sunday (some M&M's). The are such sweet boys. I want to tell them Papa and Mama are coming! No, I didn't I don't want to get their hopes up. I do believe after visiting them that they are great kids. Yes, we have seen "T", "V" and "I" Tierney's. They are as beautiful as ever and the two older ones are great dancers! We have said hi to them as well. Melissa, we have told Auza and the other two you are on your way! You can tell they are very excited! I have tons of pictures and after our court date I will post some. Clarks were suppose to have their court date yesterday and it had to be rescheduled. They don't know when it might be rescheduled yet. Our court is scheduled for Thursday, we will see if it happens. I guess it is common to be rescheduled. They haven't received the "Papers" from Kiev yet.
Thanks to everyone who has commented on the blog. It makes us feel loved and prayed for. Please keep the prayers coming our way.

can't wait for you to get home. praying for you!! love, tracy
Hey guys- we are praying for you! Morgan was so cute Sunday- swept JuJu up just like always! No chicken pox, and we are past the incubation period! Looking forward to your return!
Love, The Calvi Family
It was so heart-warming to read your 'reports' to various families waiting for their turn to travel and adopt! I KNOW they enjoy every little morsel they get!
I remember being 'addicted' to e-groups/lists, etc. I even 'stalked' a missionary group that visited our daughters' shelter.
But that was back in 2002 and SO much has changed (IMPROVED) with communication in the adoption process! What a blessing to be able to stay so connected with friends and family during your long stay in Ukraine!
I'm thrilled that you got to fellowship with other Believers there! The Body of Christ seems a bit more personal and a little 'cozier', doesnt' it? What a precious opportunity!
YAY! We are SO praying for you!!! THANK you so much for saying hello to the girls. I really do not know if we will ever get to see them again. But we love them still.
