Today, we left the apartment before 7:00 a.m. and made it to Asckins before 9:00 without any incident. We spent the entire morning outside playing with Drey. He was a little tired at first but work right up when he realized he was going to have four people at his beacon call. It was an absolutely gorgeous day. The highlight for Drey may have been the cookie Hannah gave him. He did get mad once and threw a little tantrum in the middle of the dandelions. I wish we could have gotten a picture. His tantrums only last a few seconds and compared to his older sisters is rather mild. He seemed to be even more comfortable today. We were able to trace his feet. We found some shoes at the mall yesterday and will take the drawings to try to match them to a shoe size. This should be very entertaining as we clearly don't speak Russian. Yesterday, Todd ended up with a salmon pizza at Sbarro's. He ate it without complaining but we all had a great laugh.
The Krasnoyarsk coordinator's daughter is taking English at the university and they asked us to go to class with them. I guess show and tell with the Americans. It should be interesting. We love and miss you all. We cannot wait to see you when we return!!!!

ReplyDeletewe have got to get you ALL 5 in a first family photo! you guys all look so good together and complete! Love ya and cant wait to see you!!
Wow! You guys look like your having fun with your entire family together. It was great to see a picture of Drey smiling. I still can't get over how much he looks like Todd. At first I thought it was just his haircut, but the more I look, his facial shape and smile remind me of Todd as well. Just goes to show you that he really was created for your family. Only 7 more days until he is yours EVERY day! I'm so excited for you it's hard for me not to imagine my own trip for adoption not so long ago and get REALLY emotional! (I know, what a sap!)Missing you all very much! Donna
