Our first day together.
KC and the girls at the Tower in Vilnius.
Soviet-era park ... sorry if the graffiti is swearing at you! ;)
Amphitheater where the country holds it's huge singing festivals.
More fun at Trakai Castle.
Audrone & her friend, Vismante ... Samantha :) Both girls have dots over the "e" in their names ... making it an "a" sound.
KC & Kornyte ... one of our favorites!
Elona told us these were "healthy snacks for kids". What are they? Mini cheesecakes! Yum! We need these in America! The close-up one has jello pieces in it ... the first flavor I tried. There is also strawberry, vanilla, coffee, poppy seed, etc.
Audrone, Kornelija & Ingrida.
Kornyte & her teacher. Craft fair in Radviliskis.
Dropping the girls off at the orphanage.
Vegetarian pizza Siauliai style. KC finally finds a truly spicy pizza in Lithuania.
More photos of the dense Hill of Crosses.
You haven't lived until you've lived off another country's gas station junk food. Bready twinkie anyone?
Back in Vilnius ... the European Cultural capital for 2009.Today all we had to do was meet with Edita (from the Family Law Center) who brought us to a notary to sign over power of attorney to our lawyer, Egle. Our fingerprint paperwork finally came through to the Embassy here in Vilnius, so thank you for your prayers! I hope you enjoyed the photos! Sorry the captions don't line up with the photos ... arg! It took me forever to get it this close!

Yea! Love the pictures. Am so excited to see all of you. Love you, Mom
Sorry we have been so bad about "commenting" - forgive us. Just know that we think of you constantly, pray for you continuously and can't wait for you to get home. Thank you for all your efforts to keep all of us "in the loop" - I know it's been a lot of work, we appreciate it sooooo much. The pics are priceless! Dad visits Gypsy almost daily and she is good.... ready for you to get home too, I'm sure. It hasn't been so warm since you've been gone, so she's comfortable. Well, it won't be long - we are counting the days. Love, Mom (and Dad)
I love the pictures and am so happy for all of you! What a beautiful family you are! We can't wait until we have a chance to meet the girls. Kyra tells everyone she sees about her new cousin who "isn't a teenager" ; ) She has also been reading the blog and loving the pictures! We are all very exited! We're keeping you in our prayers! Luv you all! ~Julie
Vegetarian pizza? Yea...I won't starve in Lithuania! What's up with the peas? Definitely not in Kansas anymore. Love the pictures, especially the one-handed-ankle-grab! You have a sweet, beautiful family! Thanks so much for giving Ingrida a wonderful day.
God is definitely blessing you. It was very encouraging for me to see you all so happy in the pictures. You make a wonderful family, and I'm sure there will be many more photos down the road. Your daughters will be excited for the future that awaits them. It is really cool to see GOD at work in his people. Congrats!
