Just a brief little update today:
The meeting with the government went really well. Everything was smooth; we are being granted custody of Robi on Day 4 in the country rather than Day 7-9 of visitation. Marion recommended speeding things up because R is doing so well.
We only got to see Robi for about an hour. He came running into the car today and sat on my lap for a short car ride. We played in a very muddy park and had a good time. There was a fire man pole and R let Sam help him "climb" it since I sort of acted like I couldn't do it. He went up and down 10-15 times and was grunting and making faces like a crazy man in a gym:) He copies everything Sam does... so cute. When R gives Sam a high five, Sam blows on his hands "Ouch", and R started doing that today. He also said "Goodbye" clear as a bell to a truck today. We just stared at him.
When we pulled up to the house and everyone told him "Time to go" he said "Nem, nem" and wouldn't get up, and even started a little sad whine. SAD to leave him. It's such an answer to prayer that he likes us... and I am ashamed that I am surprised.
Tomorrow we will go get him and won't have to leave him anymore.
As always, we are impressed with and so thankful for everyone involved over here. They are doing an excellent job. Sam and I are really enjoying getting to know people from Hungary on such an intimate level.
Love!
Another day of praise.
ReplyDeleteMy heart is dancing at the Lord's goodness. Have been praying hard forjhis foster parents. Sam's computer has been taken to the law library and they promised to give it to Jared. Tricia's memorial service was so sweet. Shelly read a tribute that she and Jason had written to their momma. I kept thinking about how many funerals i have been to in that sanctuary and how Janet and Tricia are now singing in the heavenly choir. And worshiping the Lord with Miss Lil and Virginia and Carson and all the other saints who made it Home before us. Can't wait for the next Skype! Love from Mama
