ladies day out

We visited Mariah this morning. She is getting to be more and more responsive to us and the boys. She is happy to see us when we come and is content to snuggle on our shoulder. We are so blessed. I must say it is getting harder and harder to let her go at the end of the visit. We are only able to see her once on Saturday. To fill the time, Brigette and I had a nice walk into the market area. Clothes seem very reasonably priced and we both needed a few things to take our kiddos home in. We had a very nice afternoon together. We were so excited to find outfits for the children. There is one particular type of outfit that looks hand made and is so adorable. We each bought a couple to bring home. I would like to save them as a souvenir from Ukraine for Mariah when she is older. We stopped for a cold drink of tea on the way home. It was a very pleasant afternoon. We have so much to be thankful for. Please continue to pray for our timeline. It is still my heart's desire to go home together but I am trusting God with whatever happens. There are no visits on Sunday. We have planned an outing for the boys. We are planning to go to the circus. The boys have never been to the circus. It will be fun for them. Thank you to all of our friends and family who are continuing to pray for us.
