That today at approximately noon, Adrian became a big brother to Andrey Charles Snyder!! Let me start out by confessing to my Frazzled Female friends that I have been your case study for a bad attitude. If you've started this week's lesson, you know, it is fabulous! I've basically had two crying jag meltdowns, poor Mark, and just basically did not feel God's presence.... until today after court. It was almost like the light came out from behind the clouds and God was saying now that you've followed, I'm here to rejoice with you! Enough of the mushy stuff. Court was scary, very formal and intimidating. We were in there for almost an hour. But in the end, he was pronounced ours. It was a three hour drive to court and we started out in a car with a driver we did not know and that is a whole other story I'll have ya'll in stitches about next time we all need a laugh. I came back with the women folk, Mark isn't back yet. We pick up Andrey tomorrow at 11:00 am and I'll have pics just as soon as I can. I love ya'll for all the sweet messages and especially for all the prayers, we have felt them.
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
