Puddles and processes

We strolled along the street this afternoon, mainly to get some fresh air. Temperatures hovered at 40 degrees and Kiev was melting. Water everywhere. John enjoyed showing off his newly-waterproofed shoes.

We turned in our letter from the inspector recommending adoption to the adoption center yesterday and we hope the center will give us an official letter that we then take to the court. Hard to follow that? You're not alone. These steps are confusing at times and we get pulled in different directions.

We both caught colds, so that's a lovely addition to the trip! (cough, hack)  We are hanging in there, though. We didn't go to the orphanage today because we thought we were going to another appointment, which then got changed to tomorrow. Probably better, though, because we don't want to wander through the orphanage with colds.

Glad to see y'all hanging in there with us!

Austin we miss you! Glad you're doing ok at Grandma's house.

Napolean Dynamite will be added to my NetFlix List. Thank you.

Too bad about your colds. EVERYONE in Michigan is sick, so you didn't miss out. Make sure you take Lots of Nasal Decongestant before your Flight home. It is HORRIBLE to fly with a cold. You can blow your eardrums. Trust me, I am calling in sick tomorrow!!!!

Agree that the orphanage isn't going to want the germs, as sad as it is to miss a day. It is really hard with the cold & damp and the temp going up and down, your immune system just goes. The stress doesn't help matters either. Hang in there!!

That is such a great story about Austin & Karen. AWW! Kids have such a great power to make your day sometimes. :o)

Keeping fingers crossed for Rick.
