I was so EXCITED ya'll!!! I know that many of you know that I collect license plates from all over. I was told by our interpreter and driver that it was impossible to buy a license plate here. I was able to do so today using, again, my South-Georgia Russian. It only cost $3.33 cents...500 Tenge! I was told it was an antique plate which is all the more better! The first letter and last three do not show up in the picture.
This is a little guy (Jack) from our room whom we love. His Mama and Papa have already completed their court and will be back here soon!
This is a picture of Aidan who is trying to sneek away from Mama who is not looking.
Adler, so photogenic like her Mama...maybe it is genetic! Her great Grandma (Granny Anna Adler) was also one for pictures! 
Again, so photogenic!Chris here...I would just like for everyone to know how ecstatic we are as parents to know that in just 4 days we will truly be a family of four!!! We cannot wait and we are so very excited to bring our babies home to start their adventures of being outside of the babyhouse compound and its lifestyle. Many of you have asked several questions in the past...our children appear to eat just about the same thing everyday, morning, snack, lunch, snack, and dinner. We hope they will eat much of Jessica's home cookin'...we'll see! Adler has never been outside of the baby house in her 2 1/2 years of life while Aidan has been outside only once. His was for a trip to the hospital. Our children have never ridden in a car, eaten sweets, played with animals, or walked outside barefooted before. We have a lot of ground to cover as parents and we cannot wait!!! We are thankful to God that he has made all of this possible and also ask for his prayers to help make us the best possible parents that any child could ask for. Our children deserve it and we could not ask for more blessings in our lives. To HIM we are forever Grateful!

Jessica and Chris, How I love this post! I love how happy all of you look and how excited you are that you are coming home soon. I love the pictures! The one of "little Jack" and the other children was a special treat as well. I would love to hear all about the children you are having to leave behind when you return. As you can imagine, that one just tugs a little harder for those of us waiting to get to our children. We are SO Happy for you!! Prayers for a grand last four days and a safe and quick return home. And Yes, thank you Father for bringing all of this to be and for keeping this wonderful family in your hands through this time! Hugs! And Blessings! Janie

I think Aidan & Adler won't look back at all. I think they are going to dive right in & love experiencing life on the outside of the baby house :)
I can't wait to hear about it. I know it is going to be very exciting.
How is the English coming???
So sorry we haven't posted in awhile. I have been taking a blogger break to enjoy time with the kids in the evenings and on weekends. I have been reading through the latest posts and have a few more to catch up on! Loved the 4th pictures of the family (really great photos). I cannot wait to hear about life in four days when you are able to leave the orphanage with Aidan and Adler! Yippee!!
Hi guys, we are keeping up with you all. I can't believe how time is flying.the pics are beautiful.
Jessica & Chris,
