Well it is just Jacob and myself. James went to the US Embassy this morning, signed some papers, then went to the airport. His flight should be leaving in about 25 minutes. Please pray he does fine and doesn't miss either flight from New York or Atlanta.
Jacob did really good during the flight from Simferopol to Kiev. I fed him Cheerios most of the flight. It kept him distracted from the seat belt he had to wear. We got off the plane outside and had to take a bus to the terminal. He did fine even with all the people, but as we were getting off he just started crying. It didn't last but a minute and he was fine. I am hopeful the entire flight won't be bad, just some of it.
We got him in the bed around 12:30 AM. I couldn't believe it when he woke up at 7:30. He has been sleeping 9-11 hours with a 2 hour nap. Hopefully he will have a good long nap today. It was good he woke up so James could see him before he left.
Jacob actually ate this morning. He ate all of his oatmeal. Giving him his medicine is a tiny bit better. I am hoping it will be better when I can get some that is flavored.
Praise the Lord, the monkey backpack is working. He didn't like it at first. I had him wear it in the room and it didn't take to long before he was used to it. He wore it to the Coffee Shop where they have wireless internet access. Several people on the street just looked at him, then me and smiled. Amazing it this a monkey backpack to get anyone to smile at you.
I am patiently (well trying) waiting to hear from Sasha with great news about the passport. When we got here last night close to midnight Sasha met us, then Andrew went with him to give him our paperwork so he could start on it right then. I was very thankful and surprised. Hopefully, that means good news for us.
Ben will be here shortly to take me shopping. Such a welcome change. Well I've got to go for now. Jacob is getting fussy having to wait on me.
James - Don't worry too much. We are fine.
Love,
Teresa & Jacob

I hope you are enjoying the shopping today and I hope you can feel all the prayers for you three. God is still in control, even though we don't understand, He knows what's best. We love you all!
You will be ready for some rest when you get home. Glad to hear Jacob is eating better (for now) that will be a daily challenge until they are about 3. Try to take a nap when he naps, you need the rest. I know your ready to be home and we are ready for you both to come home, hang in there everything happens for a reason. I just put Matthew to bed and told him that he was going to see Nana and Pawpaw tomorrow and he said and Teresa and James. I told he would see James but not Teresa and Jacob until next weekend and he said OK. If all goes as planned this time and you fly home on Wed. My plan as of now is to meet you at the airport, come back home to work Thur. take a test on Friday and then come home for the weekend. This may change according to work. Call if can early in the morning, we will be leaving at 0630 for the lake and then my cell coverage will not patchy for the whole weekend. Take care, love you both, see you soon.
Teresa & Jacob,
Hope you are doing okay in the big city now. Maybe things will be more interesting there. I know there is alot more to do. I hope you were able to enjoy your shopping.
I was so glad to hear about him starting to like the monkey backpack. I know that he is so cute with it. Good to hear that he did good on the flight. I know you are more encouraged for your flight Home. It will be soon. We all have alot of faith that God will help to get the passport and help you get home soon. And that He will give you special people that can help you all along the way with Jacob.
I know it has been such a hard journey, but look at what the reward is. It is always the things that you have to fight the hardest for that mean the most to you. I am so proud of all of you. Truly you will have such a wonderful story of sacrifice for a sweet little boy that was destined for you and your family. What great blessings are in store for your little family.
God is truly an awesome God. We had alter prayer wednesday night for you and believe that there is a purpose for you. We may not realize what it is now but we know that ALL things work together for the good to them that love God.
Keep the faith and put up a good fight. We have prayed that God will surround you with His special angels till your return home. We love you and miss you muchly!
