Here's one photo!

We're still have issues with our internet connection and uploading photos, but we finally managed to get one up. We're still going to work on more photos and videos. We walked to a pizza place for dinner last night and she just loved it. They had music playing in the background and she kept dancing ( well, her version of dancing ) to the music. We went to the food store afterwards and she loved sitting in the cart as well. When we got back to the hotel, we gave her her paci and she went right to sleep again, sleeping through the night. She woke up in a great mood and ready to start her day. She ate breakfast pretty well and laughed quite a bit ( music to our ears ). She's trying to take steps, and enjoys walking while we hold onto her hands. She's such a good little girl. We expected at least a little bit of a transition period, but she's been perfect so far. The boys are going to love her :). The one thing that I forgot to mention yesterday is that Ron ended up getting pretty sick Wednesday night. We believe that it was something that he ate. Luckily, we were prepared, and had prescriptions from our doctors. He's still a little weak, but feeling much better. We noticed that the water was a little yellowish brown the other day, so who knows what may have caused his illness. Gotta post this before we lose our internet time.

Was the pizza place about one hundred degrees inside? I think we ended up eating there about 12 times while we were there.

When are they telling you the passports will be ready? Hopefully you will get to head to Moscow soon.

She is a cutie... sorry about the illness.

I was able to print this picture from your shutterfly album, it wasn't in the best color because my ink is low, but I had to show her off at work and to the kids. Thats all everyone has heard about so I had to finally put a face to it all.Ron I hope you feel better. It's just that much closer till we come down there to see her, the kids can't wait to see her and of course the boys who they adore already. I'm starting to get jealous of the way she behaves, I may have to trade ally for ashlyn somedays.Well give her plenty of hugs and kisses and show her lots of pictures of the family and friends so she will get to know our faces.Good luck on the rest of your trip and I will talk to you soon. Love Jody

Welcome home! I really enjoyed reading your story and seeing the pics of your beautiful daughter. We are still waiting to hear more info on our visa travel. It's interesting that your translator though the business visas would be OK. I do hope that turns out to be the case! We'll update our blog as soon as we hear more. It's fun to share this journey with you!
