Less than 2 weeks ago, we didn't know if we'd be spending the next month and a half in Mongolia or staying here! Ike's visa was about to run out, but we didn't have his temporary residency permit yet. We waited with baited breath (Leif called the immigration office several times to check in, and the answer was always, "call back in a couple of days").
On the very day Ike's visa ran out, we were allowed to go in to get him fingerprinted and turn in his passport for him to receive his residency! And when we went back to pick up everything, the line was soooo long. We waited for an hour, and it barely moved. Leif and I were starting to say to each other that we didn't know if we'd make it in time. The people in the front of the line started fighting about who was next and making quite a ruckus. The guard had to come and tell them to stop fighting. And the lady in charge got so fed up with them that she called us to the front of the line! All to say, we were very happy. Thank you to all who prayed for Ike to get this paperwork.
To be honest, I don't think Ike really cares if he's in Russia or Mongolia. He's just happy to tear apart nice, plush toilet paper (a gift to me from Nettie, as I have a cold and needed something soft for my nose!)

LOVE that happy playful boy!!! Baba
He's so darn cute! Wish I could hold and play with him and give you a break with your cold. Praying healing and thanking God again for letting you all stay there. Love, hugs, and kisses, Grandmama Irene
Yay! So happy that you got his paperwork in time! I can't believe how big he looks in that picture! They grow and change sooo much in the first year!
