Today we brought Alexander and Victor (VJ) from Tokmak. It was great to see all of them together for the first time. We had our first dinner together and had to pull 4 tables together!

Alex, VJ and Jenna went back to the orphanage already because they are tired. We are spending some time again this evening with Julia. She is a delight! Her English is getting better every day and she really understands most of what we are saying. This is very helpful with the other kids.

Tomorrow we will go shopping for a few outfits for Victor and Alex. Then, we will go to the beach!

I'm sorry that we cannot send photos right now. We will have to send them when we get home in July.

Much love to all of you!
Bryan, Joy, Julia, Jenna, VJ, Alex, and Katelyn

Please tell Victor we said "Hello!" Also, can you ask him about the school transcripts for Michael?

Joy,

I can't imagine how it was for you to have the WHOLE family together. How is Katelyn? I'm sure this must be exciting for her. I'm glad that you are having a fun family time at the beach, I'm jealous!

Love,
Gail

What an amazing feeling it must have been to be with your complete family. Can you even grasp the incredible miracle that is taking place right before your eyes? We will be praying for court on Monday and Bryan's safe travels home. Love, The Georges
