First Words

We were able to talk to the boys via skype again today. I'm so grateful for the translators. However, from Ruslan, we heard a good start to his English. "Hello. How are you? I am doing good. I miss you." It is a kin to hearing your child's first words. A beautiful sound. Andrey is more reserved. He hides behind his brother. We did get to hear him say hello and good-bye. He was much quieter than his brother, but it brought a smile to all our faces to hear him speak. The boys had a few more questions for us this time. They are beginning to be curious about their new life. I pray that all their questions will be answered completely soon. Please continue to pray boldly with me that they will be home for Christmas. The director of the TLC said that she has shown them our blog. I cannot imagine what that must feel like to them. I can only hope it made them feel wanted and loved, because they are. Right now, we focus on getting them here. But once they're here, I know there will be other hurdles to jump. Can't wait to tackle those challenges together. For now, we look forward to our weekly skype chats and trust that God will bring us together in His way and in His time.
