THE DAY WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR....

SEPTEMBER 10, 2004

We are officially parents now! YEAH!!!!! And let me tell you, it is the best feeling in the world!!!! We had court on the 8th and it went great! The judge waived the 30 days so we are back in Kiev now. We flew here from Simferopol on the 9th(a 1.5 hour flight sure beats a 18 hour train ride) and the tickets were only $144 for all three of us.Alyssa is doing great! We couldn't have asked for a better daughter. She has opened up to us so much in the past couple of days! She is always smiling,laughing and singing. While visiting her in the orphanage, we sang the ABC's to her A LOT and now she sings the whole song to herself all the time (as good as she can at least) :)Our flight leaves out of here on Monday afternoon. We have to overnight in Paris, so we will be home Tues. night at 7:20pm. But that too is a huge prayer request because we can only leave on Monday if we get Alyssa's visa on time Monday afternoon. If not, we will have to leave later in the week.We love everyone and miss you all!!!!
Chris, Julie and Alyssa
