Our Last Sunday

Today was our typical family day just didn't have the boys.  We had a great day met a new family that came in last not.  They are adopting Ivan/Igor from Ivanna's baby house I'm so excited for him and I know he is going to be so happy to see them finally walk through the door.

We did some shopping and bought Ivanna some additional cooler weather outfits.  Can't wait to get home and she can wear all of her pretty clothes. 

She is still doing better and better every day.  Today was the first day that she didn't try to grab at food on plates which was fantastic.  She has slowed her eating way down but of course we are still feeding her.  Again we will regress a little and then move forward.  Maybe not everyone agrees with this but we believe it to be working great for her.  Once we get home we will start letting her feed herself again but not with a spoon the size of a shovel.  Ugghhhh!!

Also yesterday her daddy was with her in the mall while I was in one of the shops and he found a tea set in a window and told me "she wanted it" --- funny - neither of us knew it was a procelain tea set.  Well, needless to say several pieces of it are already missing.  :D  But, it wasn't because she threw them so that was good it was because they had accidental mishaps.  So today in our shopping excursion daddy found her a big tea set that was plastic and boy does she love it.  She went from not having any idea yesterday what to even do with one to today she is cooking up all kinds of stuff in her little pot and fixing us all kinds of flavored teas.  She is such a sweet little angel.  But, her horns to take a tendency to come out from time to time but thank goodness it's not very often.

Bath time is so much fun with her - can't wait to get home and get her some toys to go in the bathtub.  I can't believe she went from being afraid of water in the bathtub to now loving it and now she doesn't even mind the spray nozzle.  Little trouble with rinsing her hair but at least it's giggles and screams of excitement.  Now, I just have trouble trying to get her out of the bathtub so I typically have to call daddy in to intervene LOL.  Imagine that she doesn't listen to her mommy. 

Well, tomorrow morning we will all get picked up at 8:30 to head to the passport office to have the little munchkin's photo taken for her passport.  One step closer to going home.  Really am going to miss this city though and I am really going to miss some of the people here.  We have met some very interesting people and people have really been so friendly to us it's actually been quite surprising. 

Well, again, I'll leave you all with a fiew more pictures.  We can't wait to see the boys and get back to church.  Ms. Alice is going to love Ivanna.
