To bring you up to date: Chip and I are in Lithuania adopting three boys .below are my FB  posts: 

Jan. 3 

oK, so if yesterday was Mentos and Coke ( describing mt emotions as a spewing mess)  today was that times five. The boys are awesome. They clearly have yearned for a daddy and instantly fell in love with Chip, constantly seeking to hold his hand and his attention. It was fun to sit back and watch (and NOT be the one taking three boys to the bathroom.) The boys are bright, healthy, energetic, and shockingly small. They are little (LITTLE!) boys. They love and look out for each other. Dominykas is easy-going, mature, and obedient, Justinas (pronounced You-STEEN-as) is strong- willed, quiet, intense, and obviously very intelligent, and Deimantas (pronounced DAY-mon-tas), with glasses almost as big as he, is precise, loving and sooo very stinking cute. It truly was easy to fall in love immediately. Mentos and Coke. The orphanage seems to have done an excellent job with the boys to include preparing them to become a part of a family in America; they would have readily flown home with us today if allowed. More Mentos and Coke. Our day with the boys went better than we had dared hope, and yet we were sobered by the presence of the other orphans who witnessed our joyful first meeting. We were especially moved by a beautiful teen girl, who outwardly showed no emotion as she silently watched. (Yet again....Mentos and Coke.) How was it that we packed the EXACT number of extra toys to give to all the other children? And these toys were crammed into an already overstuffed suitcase at the last minute -- an after thought, or some, myself included, would call it a God-nudge... (You guessed it....more Mentos and Coke). Maybe someone reading this post is feeling a God-nudge in the direction of adoption? Is it you?
