Srolls to the beach.

We have been taking strolls down to the beach(5 minute walk ) and we have been walking to the store everyday with a group of about 4 other families.There is another childrens hope family here now on their first trip so we have a lot in common with them. They are actually here to meet their daughter,Nina -which was our 2nd referrall while we were on our first trip.There were some things going on with her when we were he last time and things did not work out for her to join our family. We have now understood why we met her and were not able to adopt her, it was so that family could.We were the first family from the states to meet Nina so we were able to offer a lot of info for them and they have already accepted her and will be comming back soon to adopt her.How amazing how God work, we didn't understand them but we now see the whole picture of how God has brought 2 families together from across the worl to meet in Vlad.

We did remember to bring a stroller with us from home, so he has liked going on walks everyday. He is one of 2 boys here and there are 3 girls. He is such the ladies man. He flirts with all little girls with those develish eyes.
We do have a stove in our hotel room so we have been able to cook a little. We are eating lots of mac and cheese, fet alfrado and rice. Noah is eating baby rice bananas, oatmeal, grits and yogurt.

I wish we could find some crayons for Noah but have not yet, we are going back to store tommorrow, so we will look them.
i'm glad you all are having pretty nice weather at home , allexcept for the thunderstorm lastnight.We are about to go eat supper and get baths , so we will chat later.
We love you, Josh, Leslie and Noah.

Yeah, not bringing a stroller (or even purchasing one while we were in Vlad) was a huge regret of ours. Because Iliya was so heavy, we didn't go longer distances with him, like we might have with a stroller. I'm glad y'all did what we did not do.

BTW, I got your email & I don't have the info at work - but I'm looking it up for you.

If you meet another CHI couple (Shane & Kathy), please tell them "hello" for me. :)

Hope things continue to go well.

Hello to all of you.
I hope that the 3 of you are hangiong in there with the boredom thing. The walks to the beach sound nice and relaxing.
It is truly amazing how God has his hand in the things we care about most isn't it? Now you get to know a family that is getting their miracle baby girl at the same time y'all are getting the miracle of little Noah.
God truly knows best & has our best interests at heart.
I really miss not being able to talk to you. We can't wait to see all of you.
Love ya bunches & miss ya lots-
Nikki & Patrick Revell
