"Lost In Translations"...

...at least that's what we were told was the reason our kid's social's weren't ready (again) this morning. Bob and Yulia went back to Ivankiv trying to sort out all the problems in person. As of 3pm, still no numbers. Aaarrgghh!

However, Colton is back to his super self today! We have seen him upset before while at the orphanage. We think he just had "too much" of us, that he needs his personal time as well. This will be easier once we get home and have a whole house instead of two rooms to share. This morning, once I woke up, Colton was in bed with me. He must have woken up very early when Bob left to go back to Ivankiv with Yulia and Bob asked him to get in bed with me. He looked at the bruise on my hand were he bit me yesterday and gave me a kiss.





In fact, the kids did so well this morning entertaining themselves as I felt a little sick, that I took them to the store this afternoon to buy another outfit for the kids. They were great. They held my hand the whole way there. I let them have a choice of what they wanted (I picked two things I would buy for them and let them choose from them). The first thing they did was check the size. I had to laugh at this. When we went to check out, they actually listened when I said "no" to the candy so I secretly bought some suckers for them to have later on tonight.

We are now on day 59. It's looking more like we will be able to leave next Thursday. Keep your fingers crossed that we will miraculously get everything done and be home by Tuesday of next week.
