Just a quick post to let everyone know I made it safely. It was an exhausting trip with two layovers (in Chicago and Warsaw) but I'm here now so all is good. When I checked in at the Atlanta airport, I got the news that one of my bags was over the weight limit by 5 pounds. For a moment I panicked, trying to figure out what I should do. However, I think the nice lady at the counter saw the look of desperation on my face and took pity on me. Next thing I knew she gave me a wink and put the bag on the conveyor belt without charging me one extra dime! At that point, I let her know that the bag was full of donated items for a children's home in Latvia and that the Lord would surely bless her for her kindness. Whew! That was a close one!
The kids came to the flat a couple of hours after I got there so they helped me do some shopping at the grocery store. We got our favorite pelmini for dinner. Olegs wanted bread and cheese so he could make sandwiches. We're having a great time so far and everyone is happy at the moment. It's hard to tell how it will be when we say our goodbyes on Wednesday. I had a good talk with Olegs today and was able to explain that we're still waiting for the court to free him for adoption and that we won't forget him when we go back to America with Christina. I sure hope he understands.
I think Ilga and Janis will be coming to see us for a few minutes tonight. We'd better get going so we'll be there when they arrive. I'll try to post more later.
Atta (goodbye) for now!
