Gotcha Eve!

This morning we went paper chasing to obtain all of the documents necessary to take Quinton tomorrow. Once again, Marina rocked! She is so awesome! While we were waiting for papers she told us that the court did not want to hear our case until July 18th! That's today! She had to do a ton of behind the scenes work to get our date changed. I can't go into all of the details, but she had to call on some pretty important people to make it happen. I cannot say enough nice things about her. In the end, it took about half of the day so we still made it to our evening visit. Quinton was so happy to see us. There was a pretty big thunderstorm, so we had to stay inside for our visit, but it didn't matter. We actually took him just outside to an overhang and let him feel the breeze and watch the rain. Judging by his reaction, I don't think he has ever experienced a storm before (besides hearing the thunder). It was so sweet to see his face when he felt the wind. It took his breath away the first time. He is such an angel.

We are still planning on hopefully being home around the 29th. We have to wait on Quinton's passport to be finished. In most regions you can pay an expediting fee to get it quicker. Some people even get lucky and can get it in a day. Not here, though. We will pay to expedite it in hopes of getting it in about  days instead of 2 weeks. Please pray for a speedy passport. Our friends the Williams' are in another country right now adopting their little beauty and would appreciate speedy passport prayers as well. We are so ready to be home with our little one. Thanks!

 Yesterday Brian and I took the bus to a mall. We decided to walk across the bridge to the city instead of catching the bus again. The bridge crossed the river. It was overcast and a beautiful day for a walk.

Just watch out though. the bridge isn't exactly solid. There are holes and cracks everywhere and if you look closely, you can see the river about 100ft below (I completely guessed at that, but you get the idea...it's a long way down LOL).

 Check out my flip flop tan. C'mon-you know you are jealous. It gets a little more noticeable every day LOL.

Finally-the cute stuff! 

 Meet Quinton's new friend-Dentyne Ice. He loves how it rattles when he shakes it. It literally entertained him our whole visit.

This is the only picture from today that didn't turn out very blurry, but it is so sweet. He is outside watching the thunderstorm. He was just in awe. So many firsts for our little guy...

Oh, by the way-today is Gotcha Eve! This is Quinton's last night in an orphanage! God is good!
