Shane pushed her around on the bike.
I did the slide thing again with her.
We brought markers and a coloring book and we showed her that outside. She loved that. She loved taking the marker out and then putting it back in.
We had to bring her in, because she had a poop accident. They took her and then brought her back like 10 minutes later for lunch and she screamed again and didn't want to come with us. Whew! This is exhausting. The Director calmed her down and then left. I was then able to feed her and she was fine.
Whew!!
Realized that there were poop remains on my sleeve. yummy.
Last night we met up with another american family that adopted from a surrounding region called Shymkent. They are here in Almaty just until friday to finalize the last part of the paperwork. Their son is SO cute! We have already matched Selah and Ben up for a future marriage. ;) We met for dinner last night and we have plans to have dinner with them again on Thursday night. We so enjoyed their company and we are looking forward to being with them again on thursday.
Please be in prayer that our judge will give us a positive verdict on Monday. We are very unsure as to what the decision will be.

What will happen if Monday with the judge doesn't go your way? What then? Just wondering as we pray. Praying that God changes the heart of that judge in your favor.
Thank goodness your own child's poop is never as disgusting as another child's poop :)
Cris,
If the judges says "no" on Monday then we would go home and have to start the appeal process and take it to the Supreme Court here in Kaz. This process takes a VERY LONG time. This would be horrible for Selah b/c she is already having a hard time bonding due to her age now. It will just be even harder the more time that goes by. Thanks for asking. It shows you care, and we appreciate that.
Love,
greta
Hi - I have been following your blog without saying anything... You have been through so much and I pray the judge gives you a big yes. Heartbreaking if he doesn't. So sad that he coulld question you over and over again about being able to have children but choosing to adopt because many people do that. isn't a child worth it?
Anyway, we returned with siblings ages 3 and 5 from Kaz in June and even though bonding is easier with younger children, we are getting there. Hold in there, it will happen.
Praying for you, as always. You are the strongest, faith-filled woman I know. What a wonderful mommy you will be for Selah as she heals from her losses.
MOPS misses you!
Susan
