27th

Well, we are now waiting for our LOI (Letter of Invitation) to be signed. Since we had to do our entire dossier over again, it was a lot of paper work for the Director of education to look through and she is busy preparing for their school year. Our lawyer and Sveta are going to meet with her on Thursday to go through the dossier and we will hopefully get a signature that day as well. So...pray that we will get a signature on the 27th and that, shortly thereafter, we'll be on our way back to Kaz.
James will not return to Kaz until we have a court date. I will be traveling with my mother in law who has graciously offered to join me for the first 3 weeks of the trip.
Emma and her family have had to return to Australia due to some complications with her pregnancy. She told Ava that next time she sees her will be in California when she comes to visit. Since no one will be staying at Emma's apartment, we will be staying there. Such a blessing!
Thanks for keeping up with our journey during this down time. We are hoping to be back with Ava so soon.

I am praying! You guys deserve some great news and so does your little princess! How nice of James' mom and how sad he has to wait even longer to see his baby! But the 27th is soon and I will be thinking positive thoughts until then! (and past then too of course)

Gracious has nothing to do with it, it's all selfish. I get to meet and spend time with my newest granddaughter sooner and have an international adventure. Thursday will bring good news and we'll soon be on our way.
Love, Mom

Wow, it's all coming together. How wonderful to be able to stay in Emma's apartment. I'm sure you'll show your mother-in-law all of your favourite sights & sounds in Pav.
