Today was another great day, our first full day as a real family of seven :)  Jodi and I had to run out to sign more papers (there are always more papers), then to lunch with our pastor friend here in Zhytomr.  After lunch to the outdoor market as Michael needed shoes (the pair he had here were too big and worn out, the pair we brought for court are now too small), our pastor friend helped us with shopping as the sizes here are all different (case in point in today's blog title for shoe size, no we did not adopt a clown!).  I feel muscular as I am an XXL here vs XL in America :)  Back to the flat for a pit stop and then dinner with our facilitator for, you guessed it, more papers :)  We did get our appointment scheduled with the US Embassy in Kyiv so we continue to progress towards our return home!  May not get to blog tomorrow as we are going out for a long day of nothing but fun with the church here, a day of grilling, swimming, volleyball, etc.   Funny to be talking about swimming when we clearly remember the snow upon our arrival!
