A fun outing on Thursday!

This morning, Miss. Irina called Daddy and told him that she would arrange with the director for us to bring Sean in our cab to get his picture taken for his visa because its 3 times as much money to get it done at the other place. At our morning visit from 10-12, we had a fun time. Sean found another thing that he likes to do. We found a beaten up tent with the kids toys outside, and he loved it! He went in it and sat in it and played in it. We were surprised that he was not into the sand box today. He liked the swing and the tent better. The couple who are adopting 2 children without special needs had thier court day today. The Italian couple already had thiers the day that we had ours. After the visit, we ate at the cafe that has mashed potatoes and other yummy foods that is my favorite (: Then, we went to our apartment and did some of my math and journeling, and Daddy did laundry by hand. Then, we went to the orphanage and to the directors office who told one of the doctors to tell the caregivers that Sean was allowed to go with us to get his visa picture taken. A secretary of the orphanage needed to do an errand, so she came in the cab with us. They brought Sean down in a very cute and nice outfit. He had tights on, a nice shirt and sweater, comfortable jeans/pants, a orange jacket, and a warm, colorful hat that Daddy and I loved! That is alot of clothes! He did well. We gave him some cheerios which he usually gobbles down and asks for more, but today he held them in his hand and stared and looked and looked at the inside of the car, and out the window. The man got a nice picture of him and we went back to the orphanage. Near the end, Sean tried to get up in the front seat but Daddy put him on his lap and held him close. When we got back, a caregiver came outside, and changed him into his "usual" clothes. We think that is the nice outfit for outings!
Then, we played with him a little longer and we left early (5:30) because the people who own the apartment we are staying in (Mr. Sasha and Mrs. Snezhana) invited me to watch "Brother Bear" with thier daughter little Sasha. So, we went home and made a vegatable and chicken dish and rice on the side and ate and got ready to walk to thier house (a apartment too). We watched "Brother Bear" and had a fun time. I met a girl from Izmail named Vika (short for Victoria) and she came over with her little sister and we all watched the movie together. Vika does a sport called "fencing" and she has a competition invited me to come, but we will be too busy packing.

We had a fun time, and I made a new friend. We went home and went to bed.

I hope you enjoyed this post,
