Mikhail Eating.....Ok, the next best thing

Please read this disclaimer before watching this short video. Every time we watch the DVD of Mikhail from our first day visit to the orphanage, we can't help but laugh as we watch me feeding him bread at snack time. It was the cutest thing ever (no, I'm serious.... it was cutest thing ever.......ok, everyone says that about their kid too). Of course, we would love to be able to share this video with you (it has lifted our spirits during this wait process many times), but alas due to copyright restrictions and governmental regulations and laws decreed and heralded and other unexplainable universal phenomenon we are unable to show it to you. But during movie night with our boys a few days ago, both Sara and I saw what you are about to view and turned to one another saying "It's Mikhail!". Now, before I get myself into serious trouble, understand I say nothing about any physical similarities between Mikhail and the subject of this short video. Quite the opposite. Mikhail is far cuter.....and younger. Disclaimer: The persons and events you are about to see are purely fictional (most definitely fictional), and any similarity between persons living (Mikhail) or deceased are purely coincidental. But watch the lips. It's a spot on match. We hope you enjoy.



Keep praying for our little boy in Russia. We miss him with every fiber of our being. While it seems that as the adoption becomes more complete, the rest of our life seems to become more fragmented and uncertain. Yet we hold fast (often it seems it's all we can do) to the promise that the God of this universe who loves the "fatherless" says "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9. Thanks for your prayers and support.
