Not much new to report. Much the same routine as the days before. Slow mornings, lunch, quiet time, excursion, then back to the apartment, then out to eat and finally wind-down time tonight. The good thing about the routine is that it takes the guesswork out of life for Sam. We can all focus on getting to know each other. He continues to learn more English words and seems to be very comfortable with his new circumstances. He hasn't asked to call either Elona or Sandra, nor has he expressed any degree of missing the orphanage/caregivers at the orphanage. He's doing well.
Hopefully the court decision paperwork will be complete on Monday. When it's complete the Family Law Centre folks will pick it up and take it to get the new birth certificate. There's a possibility that may spread to Tuesday. The next task after that is to apply for his new passport here in Vilnius. Once we get the new passport, we go to Warsaw to get his visa and the paperwork that enables him to become a US citizen as soon as we touch ground in the States. Hopefully that will get us home around the 8th of February.
Since Sam's behaving pretty well this afternoon, meaning she can get her hands free, Kristin may post something today. As always, thanks for your prayers and support.
Grace and Peace,
Chip

Hey Chip, Kristen, and Sam. I am glad to hear that Sam is turning into a normal sometimes defiant child. I was beginning to get a little jealous. Chip, I can't remember what you back issues are exactly, but if it is tight hamstrings with low back pain, I have an easy, highly successful exercise that can help. I know you guys are too busy to write individually, but let me know if I can help.
Greg, Joshua, Eli, Paul, and I are praying for you all and are looking forward to meeting Sam.

Glad to hear that things are sorta mundane. Normal. What a wonderful thing. Can't wait to meet you guys at the airport, the girls are booming over this. Sarah is afraid she will overwhelm him! Probably so, please prepare Sam! Totally cheesy signs (you've seen before and as always, there is never enough glitter for them)! Take advantage of the snow, even for an hour or so and make a snowman. Real carrot nose. Important stuff. Memories forever and no snow in the south! I laughed so hard about the gum, I can so see K taking the book! She is a fabulous mom already. Prayers continue for all three of you. Love, me
