Long Road to Court...

We found out yesterday night that our court date wasn't scheduled for a couple weeks, which is much later than we were hoping. A lawyer has been meeting with the judge to see if there is any way to move our court date up. I guess we have to wait to see if the judge can move her schedule around a bit; we'll let you know as soon as we here anything new. Please keep praying for a quicker court date.

In the mean time enjoy the pictures from our day. Darina was very happy today, and we even spent a good amount of time outside. On our lunch break we bought some photo albums and developed nearly 300 photos... and these are only our favorites! On average we take 150 pictures a day. Of the 150, we'll end up deleting about 50 or so and then pick out our favorites.

Sometimes Darina wants to be carried. This particular time she wasn't too specific as to how she wanted to be carried.... something tells me she didn't mind the little mix up.

We found this gate by one of our favorite restaurants here. Maybe since we've been here so long they dedicated the gate to Kari Letterneau?

Today we walked around outside and looked at all the murals around the Baby House.
Darina enjoyed a little model session on the bench.
Looking at another mural with Dada.

In addition to murals, we also walked around and pointed to all the flowers.

Kari. the pic beside your gate is so cute. I like the way the wind is blowin' your hair and scarf! I can almost feel the air! Darina does seem to be relaxed and having a good time with her Mama and Dada! I too like the bench pic. She looks so relaxed and happy! God Bless her and both of you as you wait! Everyone is waiting on pins and needles for your homecoming.
Love from Sandra Sherritt

I think you guys win the prize for the longest adoption journey ever. You both handle it so well, your patience is greatly rewarded. Zaine misses his Mrs. Letterneau, and is okay with the new sub "Mrs. Estrada" but she doesn't hold a candle to you in his eyes :o)
