Day 10- We went to Vasya's orphanage or as Matthew says "Vozzy's house" around nine to speak with the director. She was very nice. We ran into one of the wolf girls Anya--she is such a sweet heart.-Cindy she says she still needs her clothes, come to Ukraine soon and don't forget to take care of the cats. She will come to the apartment one of these days to skpe you.
We left after talking to the director and came back to the apartment while Vanya continued his qwest for documents, he was able to get the stuff back from the city people that Jeff tried to get yesterday. I made fried eggs-probably only the second time in the ten years we have been married. I thought Matthew would hate them, but he ate two. It took six eggs and some bread to fill up the two of us and a four year old, imagine what it will take with two more big boys. We took a nap because our internet was out. Then we went back to number 4 to see Vasya. The place was a zoo because classes were over. There were kids running everywehere. Vasya was able to come with us for supper and some paper chasing. Matthew has warmed up to him and even sat on his lap in the taxi. We ordered two pizzas- one with pepperoni and one with only mushrooms-(that's how I like pizza). Vasya ate two piece of pepperoni then three of mushroom. He liked the mushroom better- he gave me the thumbs up on it. I had a terrible time ordering the pizza, no one spoke english and Jeff and I eventually drew a pizza with mushrooms on it. But they got the order right. We are still running into a few problems that will take time and prayers to work out, so keep on praying. We asked Vasya what he wanted to do about his name, we told him we were fine with keeping Vassilly as his first name but he didn't want to. So Vassilly will be his middle name. He wanted an american name so Jeff, Vanya and I started throwing out names we like and he picked one. But I am not telling, It will be a surprise for you all to hear after court, when ever that happens.
So please pray for us, for a court date that is soon and not forever away, for the officials to quickly get and approve our documents and for anything else standing in our way of going home soon.

I hate to tell you this, but Elmer and I often joke that we don't need a college fund for the boys... we need a FOOD fund! We could knock off a dozen eggs on a weekend around here. Get used to it. Boys EAT!!! :)
It's nice that he can leave the orphanage with you. Hopefully that will help speed up the time.
I'm sure you're picking up a little bit of the language just by being around it but it is nice that the boys are older and they can teach you!
Riley ate something on our walk this morning and ended up throwing up about fifteen times before I went to work. You know I get a little paranoid with sick pets now so we went to the vet and he gave her some medicine. She can't eat anything until tonight so I'm sure she'll be starving.
I added more pictures over the weekend. Haven't written anything yet. Pretty busy. Ready for the weekend.
Take care!! Love ya!!!
Cara, I realize you may not be able to, but can you e-mail me? I think Vasya lives at the internat our host daughter lives in! If so, I would love to send our love to her through you.
