Hi, it's been a week since court! We still have about ten days left until we can pick the kids up. Since the appeal period ends on a Saturday the last day will actually be on Monday and we will pick the kids up on Tuesday the 29th. That day Svetlana, our lawyer, will apply for their birth certificates and passports. We will bring the kids back with us to Pavlodar where we will wait to receive those documents which can take 10-13 business days(approx. 2 weeks) After we get those, we can fly to Almaty and get the kids visas at the US Embassy there. That should just take a few days. Then home!
We continue to visit the kids about every other day. We made a chart that we are using to count down the days with the kids. They get to draw a smiley face in the circle for every day that passes until they get to come to Pavlodar with us! Then we'll make a new chart for our count down to America!!
The kids seem very anxious to get on with things! We hadn't pulled out the photo album in awhile and today we did and Alyosha said "we will get to see the rest of our family soon" I was surprised because sometimes it seemed he wasn't that interested in the pictures, but he could name everyone and is ready to go!!
You know Zhenya is...she thinks everyday is the day for her to leave!
