First Full Day Home


We heard from Emma today that she saw Ava. We told Emma that we wanted to hear everything about the visit even if Ava was upset or not doing well. It sounds like she was missing us and was upset when Emma left but she spent about an hour with her looking at pictures of us. Ava pointed to James and I in pictures and seemed happy when Emma was there.
This has been a rough day. We are missing Ava and thinking about her constantly. We are trying to take time to refresh at home knowing that we will be back in Kaz before we know it.
Thanks for keeping us all in your prayers.

I'm sorry you had to leave Ava but you both are really amazing. Some day she will understand how hard you fought for her. Stay strong and we'll certainly say prayers that you are all home as a family soon.

Lou Ann & Lexie too

Kari and James: Just wanted to let you know that I received our purses from Pavlodar and we love them. Madina has been sporting hers around town with such pride. Thanks so much for all you've done to help those who are working on behalf of the children. Praying that you'll be united with Ava soon! Rest up and enjoy being at home. Quaintance
