Cindy and Julie went to the orphanage to pick up the children. They were so excited to go clothes shopping. While at the orphanage, Yana, the English teacher, gave us a packet of letters for Stas and Sergi. The children sent them a wonderful packet and some pictures. We came back to the hotel, bathed the children then off to the market for shopping. It was easy to find clothes for Maria Oksana but a challenge for Matthew Maksim. We did get them items to wear to court. They just enjoyed the outing.

After shopping, we had lunch. Matthew ordered a dinner and then started ordering a pizza. He wanted two meals. We had to hold him back. He loves to eat. He is so funny. He was calling the waitress by her first name. Maria was just a princess watching him. They really interact well. They do take care of each other. Later in the day, when Maria was pouting, Matthew gave her gum.

They are learning English slowly. We are just enjoying spending the time with them. We took them back to the orphanage via the bus.

We ate at the mall and spent the evening updating the blog.
