Our friends, Sara and Anthony Reynolds are visiting us from Dnipro (where they are in the process of adopting a 2-year old boy, Abe). We went to dinner last night with the G-3 crowd from the orphanage and had a great night of laughter, fellowship, and margarita pizzas.
This morning, Sara and Anthony went with us to the orphanage to meet Haley A. She was so shy and snuggled into us like she has never done before. We were in heaven. She sat facing me for a good 15 minutes (this is a first! she typically will only sit with her back to me and is very uncomfortable if I try to turn her around to face me for a hug). But this morning, we got a great dose of Haley Hugging!! :)
We are hoping this is the start of something really wonderful! At least we know the little thing has it in her!After she warmed up a bit, she was her usual lively self and we walked and played some hide and seek games with Daddy.
She loves calling out "da-da, da-da" in a sing-songy way when he is hiding are we are looking for him. So cute.

The 4 of us will join Laura and her mom at the restaurant overlooking the River tonight. Then our driver, Max, will take the Reynolds back to Dnipro in the morning.

We are so excited that we will be home just ONE WEEK from today!
We can't wait until we are walking away from the orphanage with our little girl toward home...

Hope you are enjoying your weekend!

Hi Lambeths,
I have enjoyed reading of your adverntures and friendship with Sarah and Anthony. You both have certainly been tested but are soon to receive the rewards of your faith. Sarah's oldest brother is here with his new baby as well as her 2 other brothers. They ahve enjoyed reading her blog of your dinner out on the river and the various references to her meal. Great laughs.
Have a safe trip back to the states with you preciouse cargo and being a Father of 5 I can attest to the fact you are soon going to build a treasury of memories.
Bod Bless you all.
So very excited about your amazing journey to bring Haley A. home to begin her new life! Hope she knows the great adventures she's in for! Can't wait to meet her!
Love
Sheri
