It's been a while since I've updated... nothing new really happening (at least from our viewpoint). Rita and Lera have been sick for the past few weeks with some kind of flu or virus. In fact, I think the whole family has been sick over the course of the past month.
We were able to connect through skype this past Sunday which was great. We had a camera so they could see us, but they don't have one yet, so we couldn't see them. But the voice connection was very clear.
We purchased the 2nd bed for the girls room and I have it set up. We will go shopping once they get here so they can have some input on decorating their room. I'm working on getting all of the unsold garage sale items out of my house. I will donate some, consign some, still trying to sell some, and the bowflex is going to a friend. I've finished the girls welcome posters for the airport and made a couple of ornaments for them for our Christmas tree. My goal this weekend is to clear the back porch so we can set it up for a 'den' for the girls and to have extra space for family to gather at Christmas.
So, at this point, we are just waiting for a referral and a travel date. Our dossier was delivered to our lawyer on 10/7, was taken to translation, then was received at the Children's Ministry office on 10/24. Another court hearing was held on 11/11/11, but I've not heard anything official.
Fundraising has slowed. Not making progress on getting a location for the Israel presentation. We were approved for LifeSong and the Both Hands project. We hope to do that in the first part of 2012, but I need to get a travel date before we set a date for working on a widow's house.
