We met them!

We met the kids today!  I am going to try to post a couple of pictures but the internet is so slow here.  We are staying at a pretty bad hotel tonight and then moving to an apartment tomorrow.  We got to spend about 2 hours with the kids.  They were so sweet.  Bogdan was shy but opened up when we started playing soccer.  Tanya came out after him and came running up to us with big hugs!  More details tomorrow!









Goodnight!  We are so tired, physically and emotionally.  Thanks for all the prayers today!
