| This is the big grocery store where we get most of our stuff, there are smaller stores closer to the apartment. |
 |
| Great picture with the two kinds of buses, Trollybus in the background, minibuses in front. |
 |
| Lenin Square...he doesn't see much action except from skateboarders or BMX riders. |
 |
| The box game between Sophia and Lisa |
 |
| She is smiling a lot these days! |
 |
| Achmed, great kid, really needs a strong role model. |
 |
| Axtem and Sasha. It would not be easy in the first months with these boys, but it would pay HUGE dividends in the long run. I do enjoy my time with them and they both seek me out when we are around. |
 |
| Maxim and Achmed. Maxim is another great boy. He will attach quickly and starves for the attention. |
 |
| Victor and Achmed. Lisa has gotten a real soft spot for Victor. I think it's the freckles on his cheeks. Plus he is really sweet and just enjoys playing. |
 |
| Adorable Vanya. Love this guy. Praying his family comes soon. |
 |
| Little do the boys know, but Sophia set them up. |
 |
| Typing out notes for her friends in the states. I can see this question coming real soon. "Daddy, can I have an iPhone?" How do I say no to a daughter that doesn't like skirts?! My sons are gonna scream unfair, I'm sure. |
 |
| He's either house broken, or he broke into the house. My Russian isn't so good, but I was happy just watching. |
 |
| Sweet, adorable Ala! |
 |
| Watermelon! That is Rostik in the stripes. |
 |
| Cafe Chao near our apartment! Great desert place with WIFI! |
 |
| Park next to Chao, it is a favored spot for families in the area. Us too! |

We have no idea what tomorrow will bring. But we should get to share some comments from her friends with her.
Well, we ended up in Yalta, sort of.
 |
| View from the car on our way to Yalta. |
 |
| You might want to stay way behind this guy. Holy cow! |
 |
| Me and Luba, our facilitator in Simferopol. She joined us on our whirlwind trip today. |
 |
| Adorable little girl who had a butterfly on her hand. |
 |
| Some old Czar built himself a sand castle on a cliff. |
 |
| Our view at lunch. |

Maybe tomorrow we will get her to try on the new clothes and share with her the messages from her friends.
But we never know what might happen.
 |
| Looking at pictures of their friends over in the states. |
 |
| Typing out the messages. |
 |
| I'm gonna miss these guys! |
 |
| He thought he was sneaky. |
 |
| I believe this is Vishay, the smaller guy is Axtem. |
 |
| They will pose for the camera, but don't expect them to smile. |
 |
| DJ Vanya! |
 |
| For the life of me, I cannot make out the pronunciation of the boy sitting on the steps. |

This is the day we have court. Forgive me for being selfish, but I want Sophia as my daughter, please pray this is the outcome.
