I keep checking the phone to make sure it's on...just waiting for it to ring and for Yulia to tell us Elijah's passport is here...not yet though... God's timing is ALWAYS perfect. If there is one thing (ok, perhaps it's been more than one thing) that I've learned during this whole process, it is that God's timing is ALWAYS perfect. So, I will rest in that. There is still a little time left for today, but it's not likely at this point. (2:40PM) But please pray it comes Monday at the VERY latest. If it doesn't, we won't be able to hold our flights home on the 30th, and it would most likely be into the new year before we get home.
I'm SO excited for Dave and Summer! They got "the call" from Yulia and their court date is set for Thursday!!! They will get in before the end of the year and the 2-week virtual "shut down" here due to New Year's, Orthodox Christmas (Jan. 7th) and Old New Year's (Jan. 14th). That is GREAT news for them and their little princess, Isabelle. She really needs to get home as soon as she can. They ALL do!
Elijah was...ummm...testing the boundaries today. You know, just like any normal toddler/preschooler does. LOL But, I guess that's good that he is feeling more and more comfortable with me. I'll post some photos and/or videos later on after our afternoon visit. SO hard to believe it's Christmas Eve. I hope you all have a very wonderful, blessed Christmas with your loved ones. Please don't ever take that for granted.

Thinking of you today! I'm so proud to call you my friend, Jill! I can't wait to meet that little sweetheart - he's so adorable!
Take care & happy holidays! I know it can't be easy, being so far from home, but it'll be worth it in the end :) But I know you know that!
Hey Jill, I ran out of minutes the day our passports were ready! haha! Make sure you still have minutes on your phone, OK?
Merry Christmas dear friend! Give Natalia a big hug from me if you see her.
