Groundhog day #897! LOL
Today was about the same as yesterday. We ate a snack, I chased him down the hallway & back about 48 times, and finally we went outside. LOL He’s still pretty cute & sweet though, so I guess I’ll keep ‘im. Oh, one thing though, Cathy & Tully got him the sweetest pair of new shoes to go with his "Gotcha Day" outfit. Today I took them to make sure that they'd fit. They do, but he wouldn't let me take them off! He wore them until we got ready to go outside, then he had to change into his boots, so I was able to snatch them and put them back in the toy bag! YAY for new shoes of his very own!!
I’m telling you, I SO cannot WAIT till we get home and he can play with his very own little sister(who is actually about twice his size!) and the other daycare kids. One in particular is really looking forward to playing “games” with him. Hehe
There was, what I assume, a Daddy there today visiting and loving on a little girl that I’d never seen before. She was absolutely beautiful. Blonde hair, bright blue eyes… wait… where her eyes almond shaped or was I just seeing things (you know, like when you are pregnant you see a gazillion other pregnant women)… no… I looked at her little adorably stubby fingers… and her little tiny ears… This beautiful blonde haired baby has DS, I am 99% sure. I SO wanted to ask, of course, I have NO idea how I would accomplish that, so I just watched this man, looked about 30ish, playing and talking to her, and loving her. He held her up so she could try to walk, he fed her some fruit. It was obvious that he cared very much for her. Her name is Alina, Alinka is what he called her too. I’m sure that she isn’t on RR because she isn’t available… yet… Sigh…
I also got the chance to play a little with one of the other RR cuties, Angel. She is spoken for now, so she’ll be coming home soon! YAY!! She is so darling! And she and Milo (also on RR) are the cutest things together! They act like siblings (hint, hint Angel’s Mama! hehe).
I went to the mall to call the family today, and there was a band in the upstairs area so I could barely hear them. I love being able to see them when I talk to them though. I miss everyone SO much!!!
I can’t wait… a week from now we’ll be HOME!!! Only 7 more sleeps!!
Yeah - 7 MORE SLEEPS... How sweet is that thought. No more weekends after tomorrow. Kiev in a few days to hang out with the other RR families. Walks in the city with little one walking beside you. Sweet memories about to happen. God is good. Oh how good is God!!
ReplyDeleteHi Mel,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being so close to coming home. We leave on Friday to start our journey and I have to admit that the unknown is pretty stressful to think about. You and your family at home will be in my prayers as you prepare to come home. Your Thanksgiving and Christmas will definitely be blessed this year.
Patty - bring home Jenny
Hey Mel,
ReplyDeleteWhen are you getting home home, not just gotcha day then Kiev? Gosh it seems like you've been there about 4 or 5 months... I know you can't wait, it's time to bring this adventure to an end....unless of course you want to travel to Russia with me :)
I've been following your blog and rejoicing in your beautiful son and the joy that awaits him and your family as you follow the Lord's leading. I don't even know if I'm allowed to ask this question...not really familiar with EE etiquette and rules, but have you seen little Parker? Our family is praying fervently for him and he has stolen our hearts. The glimpses into Timothy's orphanage have been such a blessing to see as we imagine what little Parker's days must be like. If you can't answer, I totally understand, please know that my prayers are with you that these 7 days fly by and your trip home with your little angel is nothing short of perfect. Enjoy him, God has blessed him and your family, as well!
