We decided to go to church again this Sunday to the baptist church we had been led to last week. The music was really great, and the sermon good (at least as near as we can tell with the translation!). Off early to get the kids and back to the flat to get ready for church. The girls had a matching outfit for Masha to wear and a nice shirt for Andriy as well. Our pastor friend and his family gave us a lift to church. Fortunate to have translation again this week, a very nice young gal named Angelina, she was great! After church back to town for lunch. We went to a pizza place next to the movie theatre that we had been to once before. We liked it as the food was good and they had someone who spoke pretty good english. Lucky again today! A young man who was very friendly and translated for our waitress, so everything was what we wanted to order and very tasty again. All the kids enjoyed the pizza.
Ordering the pizza is a lot like figuring out what our new family will be like. A pizza is like a family, we all have our specific likes / dislikes / loves / ickies, but in the end we all love pizza! Bekah likes just cheese. Alyssa will eat anything. Dylan is more discerning in his tastes. Masha likes mushrooms but not pineapple. Andriy likes the meat pizza. We've spent a life learning our three kids and know them very well. This process will now start over as we learn Masha & Andriy, but no matter the specifics on the ingredients, we know they'll love being a part of our pizza :) So far it's a lot of guess and go but not bad at all. They are both older and we can tell pretty sharp, so between us and them, we usually have found a way to get the message across to each other. We are enjoying our time getting to know them so far and are looking forward to when the process of adoption is over, and we can just settle in as a family together :)
