Yesterday was full of adventure here in Odessa land.
Our son met us at our apartment in the afternoon. We weren’t sure if he was going to because he had a very bad head ache when we dropped him off the night before. We found out he gets head aches quite often.
We hung out all...

Tuesday, March 6th....We've been in Odessa for 40 days now. We're tired. Emotional. Missing our kids like crazy. Fighting a non-stop spiritual battle. And fighting for our boy.

Viktor Migo took me to the orphanage #4 to celebrate a birthday. He played Uno with the kids.
There is a week’s worth to update everyone on, but there hasn’t been a whole lot going on, so maybe I can keep this short. Wow...I heard every single one of you say, out loud, “yeah right”. OK,...

Today was a great day with Luke. We had all day to do what ever we wanted and really didn't have any idea what to do. We decided the guys needed haircuts so we headed to a mall that has a restaurant (with WiFI....a must) on the 6th floor and also has a place to get haircuts. After we ate, the...

This is the 2nd part of the blog update: just some words about “Luke” that I have also included in previous emails, so if you have received e-mails from me, you are already caught up on the first part. Ice skating is mentioned at the bottom if you want to skim down to the end. Just...
