Friday Morning Update - Hopefully a Big Day

It has almost been another week. Our team here is working towards an appointment that would have children that meet our requirements. If you are thinking that this is a very strange process, you are right. We had hoped to hear some new news last night (Thursday). Our agency says everything is working so to be PATIENT (there's that word again). Our next appointment has to go well or we're probably coming home until a time when we will have a better chance of adopting a healthy child. We are trying not to think of that possibility right now, but are working at keeping our wits about us so we make a good, unemotional decision if that time comes. We'll re-post on Friday night whether we get any news or not.

Thank you everyone for the comments on the blog. We have heard from some new bloggers and some old friends. Appreciate the offers for care packages of books, DVD's, etc.! We are OK in that regard now having found a source for English language papers (Hyatt.. Good to be a gold member) and the bookstore we mentioned in a prior blog. We have also been downloading movies off of the iTunes store and have been watching a movie almost every night. The 17" laptop and the new portable speakers we purchased in Amsterdam is a very good system for watching movies in bed. The iPod with those speakers gives us non-stop music, and we have been playing the photos from home on our TV through the iPod. We have a good mobile entertainment system.

Hopefully the new photo log link on the blog is working for everyone. It is easier and faster to upload the images and provide a description. We will reserve future photo entries next to this blog text for when we have adoption related information. We are updating it daily with photos, so go to the end if you have already visited the photo log to see the new stuff. We also added a link for some maps of Ukraine.

We'll update you tonight. Until then, have a great Friday!
