What a blessed day of fellowship! This morning, our friend who happens to be Ukrainian AND a Behavior Specialist, took time to visit one on one with each of our children. I lack the words (this hour of the day) to convey my gratitude... Thank you, Jesus, for the many ways you provide for our needs! Thank you in particular for Your servant, Olga, who so graciously has given her time to minister to our family! Her time with each child provided insight to some of the things they are dealing with. I suspect our language barrier will be almost gone in another month, especially with school starting next week. We are all excited!
Meanwhile, the language barrier was crossed again today allowing both parent and child to understand one another more. Without going into details, I will just share that we were able to share more specifically about some things ahead (regarding school starting, etc...) and then we were able to learn about things like some bad dreams one has been having (regarding previous experiences back in Ukraine). All in all, they are each doing well and seeming to settle in more and more every day. Praise the Lord from Whom all blessings flow!
Due to inclement weather, our afternoon plans of swimming with the Hodge podge (love that family nickname!) was interrupted... SO, Jill and I decided to take the kids to the church's Activity Center. What a blast our mini-United Nations had! I confess, I was a little overstimulated trying to keep up with "Momma, look!", not to mention trying to play 3 sports at once - basketball, soccer or baseball! Oh, but it was so much fun! Sore muscles now tell the tale...

So blessed to have sweet fellowship with dear friend, Jill, and share in the adoption journey together! God is so good to us. May you see His goodness and mercy today in fresh ways! Blessings to you and yours...
