Our translator/coordinator in Russia, Svetlana, sent new pictures of Julianna, as she was permitted to see her this week. You can see for yourself that she looks healthy...and yes, they cut her hair again. ( We learned when we were in NN that the institution keeps the girls' hair short so they don't yank on it and tease one another.)
Sveta indicated that there has not been success in securing a signature of sign-off from the one brother. The social worker has just not caught up with him. She is not sure if she will be able to go to the judge or not today. :( Oh well...maybe on Tuesday of next week, since the judge will see people on Tuesdays and Fridays.
On the homefront...the weather is pleasant - not too hot and not too humid. The kids have had swim practice every morning and actually got out of the water early because of the water temperature. Gabby's big news is that her braces are off! Hurray!!!
