4 days until court!!

The weather has been really nice the last two days; therefore, we spent most of our time at the orphanage outside.  We played soccer, football, and basketball.  Emily also used the camera to take more pictures.

Today, Emily talked me into playing in a soccer game.  The American dads played against the boys in the orphanage.  It was a lot of fun.  I played goalie.  I'm pretty sure we won but after playing for some time we decided to call it a tie.  Emily and Laura sat on the sidelines and cheered me on.  Emily also took more pictures.

We can't wait for our court date.  Emily is excited for the court date also.  Everyday, I count down the days until court.  After telling Emily how many more days until court today, I asked her if she was happy.  Emily emphatically replied yes with a big smile.  She is ready to start her life with us.

Emily is such a caring young lady.  When it was time for us to leave today, Olga was crying.  She is upset her friends are getting adopted and she will be left behind.  Everyone gave her hugs.  Emily put her arm around her and comforted her.  As our van drove away, I could see Emily's arm still around Olga.  She is such a loving young lady and I noticed she looks out for the younger children.

When we said goodbye the last two days, Emily gave us big hugs and quietly said "Love you" to us.

Tomorrow, we will be down to three days until court.
