Day 3 with Ellie

So, I tend to have so much time during the night to blog, update, etc...as Ellie sleeps away because my days and nights are confused! I need to be asleep! Hoping after court on Tuesday I will sleep better and get on the right schedule...I was told it would take a few days and it is true! We spent the day with Ellie's sister , who calls her "Med-Ah" , her Ugandan name was Mbedha. I had no idea how to pronounce it until today! She says it in her African tongue and it's so cute! Her sister, Rebekkah, is so funny. She has all sorts of expressions and already catching on to English! A lady from North Carolina is adopting her, and we didn't know this until a few weeks ago. I am so glad they were still in country where we can spend time together. Ellie just lit up when she saw Rebekkah! She was running with her, laughing, playing, talking a little bit, etc...
This little one had us believing she couldn't walk with her sore foot...but guess what? She was walking just fine today with her sister! HA! She was putting on a good act for us:) They came back to our hotel and played on the playground and loved the tire swing...and even got on a bike for the first time. Today I think we will try and see if we can get her in the water...her sister was scared of it too at first but now plays in it fine her mom said. I want to get her used to the water so we will try it little by little. That way by summer she can jump in Meme's pool with her brothers!
We also found today that Rebekkah and her mom had the same judge we will have tomorrow. Praise the LORD! She was granted custody which means there should be no reason we shouldn't. I haven't been worried about it that much anyway...but hearing that made me feel even better. So ready to get court behind us, and the ruling in our hand that says she's our daughter! Please continue to pray!
