Bits and Pieces with Questions

So many remaining pix and thoughts and questions as we spend our last few hours in Latvia for the first time.  Sharing a few here....
last day living in Latvia

bonding time?  how about tickle sessions?

Aleks and V's remote controlled cars were a hit

v's preferred place to drive the cars?  right in front of the Freedom Monument in Riga with about a gazillion people passing by - "it's okay mom"  yeah, yeah.....

visa doctor visit

American Embassy, Riga 

farewell party for V at orphanage :)

gifts for him

sports area in front of children's home

ay, yi, yi....

mom - it's okay; i don't know bout that.....


okay, where are the boys at this place?????


leaving for a new chapter of life


last but not least - yogurt lovers - you MUST try this!

And for a few questions:  
1.  Who are the rest of these kids' families?  Got to be out there somewhere!
2.  How can I help more kids? PLEASE don't tell me to care for the ones I have and be content!  I might get cranky!  Being content is healthy in some areas, but not when there are people hurting and we can do something about it.
3.  Anyone know of a 4 bedroom home/apartment available in our school zone so that we can host more kids?
4.  Anyone have extra cash?  That is basically what stands between the kids and families in many cases.
5. What will V's school situation look like?
6.  How will Nate, Andrew, and Jordan adjust to full time brothering another?
7.  How will I work full-time and manage all of the newness?
8.  When will we return to Latvia?
9.  Who will host Juri and Mareks from V's orphanage this summer????
10.  Why has God given us such a tremendous blessing of 4 incredible (not perfect!) boys?

Could go on and on and on but the taxi arrives at 3:45am our time, so wrapping it up soon.  Let you know when we arrive, then on to discovering the new normal.

Leaving part of my heart with some very special kids here, but excited to arrive home to some very special kids there with another very special kid in tow!
