WE GOT OUR LUGGAGE! Well, we’re still missing one piece, but we’ve made progress. We went to the airport today around 1 pm and picked up two of our bags and we leave tomorrow morning at 6:30 a.m. Maybe we should have just left our luggage at the airport! The piece of luggage that we’re missing was a bag full of clothes for the Baby House so if it turns up here they can just deliver it to the Baby House.

We were originally scheduled to leave on July 22, but we won’t get a court date until mid-August at the earliest so we decided to come on home. Believe it or not they had seats available for us and there was no change fee. Hmmm. Maybe the tide is changing.

We also had one of our best days with Robert so I guess we’re leaving on a good note. It didn’t start out good. He did his signature plop-down-on-the-ground when he saw us. They had us take him outside and he didn’t like that either. He just sat there for a long time and then all of the sudden he wanted me to pick him up. Just when we started having a good time his group came walking out and they went around to the back of the Baby House. When he saw his group go by he completely lost it. They had us take him around to his group and then they sent one little girl named Sabine back to the playground with us and Robert was fine after that. Sabine is about five and she helps out a lot with the kids. She’s very sweet. Robert had a great time running around with us and Sabine. I think Russell is going to help Robert feel more at home when he finally gets to Pensacola.

This will be our last blog for the time being. We should start up again around mid-August. Take care everyone. Nancy and Chuck

What an adventure! Robert is beautiful. Those eyes and cheeks are heartbreakers. He is the luckiest little boy in the world. I know how you are dieing to get him home and snuggle with the whole family. It will be a dream come true. Love the travel tales!!! Ciao Pizza - cracks me up that there's a pizza place in Eastern Europe, Western Asia :-) Thank you so much for sharing this. I have tears in my eyes and I'm going to be spent for the next 20 mintues or so. Love you and safe travels!!
