Court Date!!!

Yup...we got a court date today.  We will be in a court a week from tomorrow...next Thursday...February 25th at 10:00am!  We are so excited.  We expected a quick court date but deep down I feared it would be for two or three weeks out!  Thank you Lord.  We are excited about heading into phase II off mission, Bring Ava Home! 
My sister left two days ago and is actually in the air on her final stretch right now.  We had so much fun with her and are so grateful that she was able to visit Ava in her home country.
The weather is warming up and we are sooooo excited!!  It has been in the positive degrees for the last two days.  It no longer hurts to breathe, I can look straight, instead of down when I walk...awww, lovely.  

Our last visit with Erica:
"Mom, I only have one more day to color with Auntie.  Please stop bugging me with these photos!"

XOXOXO...We'll miss you Erica!

Ava really loved this book we borrowed called, God Made you from your Nose to your Toes.

Finally a picture of her looking up!  She sure does have beautiful eyes!

Ava was cute on this day and was dancing up a storm.  I have no pictures of the dancing b/c I was taking video.  We'll post that video next post along with some others from our trip.

The blue wall in this visitation room is just so awful in pictures.  At least the walls can't ruin the black and white photos. 

Much love and thanks for your prayers as we mentally, physically, spiritually prepare for court again!
