Today was another fun and exciting day. We managed to sleep in until 7:15am. Mornings are noisy, with children waking and doors slamming, but we felt good, especially after our nice cold showers! :)
Later in the morning, we got to head down the road to the school where the children are most of the day and got to spend about 45 minutes with Isayas in his classroom! They were learning how to count to 6 and different parts of the body. Even though we've only "known" him for a day, we were so proud of him as he counted correctly to 6 and was able to name many of the body parts we were pointing to.
Later in the day, Em and I joined a new family that arrived today down to Care Center A, where the babies are. We held Molla for about 30 minutes, kissed on him and talked to him. He seems to be processing us, trying to figure out what is going on. But we got a few minor smiles and some beautiful black eyes staring at us!
We also heard some good news today. Well, good and bad. The bad is that the courts messed up Isayas' paperwork too, calling him Isayas Mollas. That won't work. So because it was the courts' fault in all this (and this is the good news), the officials here at Children's Home believe that when they talk to the judge on Monday that he'll move things along quickly that day. So it looks like we'll only have to spend an extra 5 days here waiting for the paperwork, hopefully leaving December 16th.
Whoo hoo!

Mario you look so wonderful with a little boy in your arms. It sounds like you guys are having a wonderful time and that God is truly annionting all your steps. Your boys are truly amazing you guys and the boys are getting so excited as are Wes and I. Thaddeus is having such a hard time understanding why it is taking so long he thought that when we got here to your house today you guys would be home with our boys!!!! We love and miss you. Please hug my sister for me and tell the boys their cousins get wait to play soccer with them. Anya
