We are family ...

The only description I can give for today is "busy, busy, busy." The trip to the grocery to buy cakes and candies for the caregivers and officials at the baby house was rushed and crowded, due to today being the "unofficial" holiday of "Men's Day." Apparently May has a "Women's Day," and this one was needed to balance it all out. Everyone and his sister was out buying cakes and goodies for home and work to honor the men. But we succeeded in the end and made our way to the baby house.

Josie came in, dressed in the outfit I brought for her to leave in. Cute as a button, still, of course! Both she and Maigul, her head caregiver, were obviously sad to part, and there was a rush to give us a happy send off. Some tears from Josie that dried up very quickly as we made our way back to the international clinic and had our doctor's appointment.

The timing on this was a bit unfortunate, as it forced Josie to miss her scheduled nap! We returned to the hotel to hang out for the rest of the day. Little Miss J then refused her next nap (loudly) and spent the afternoon playing with Mom and Grammy and eating. For such a little peanut, she has quite the appetite. That bodes well for the future!

Got her down (hopefully for the evening, unless she wakes for a bottle). Mom and I are heading off to bed to shore up our sleep, just in case.

Tomorrow is the US Embassy paperwork, then Wednesday the Embassy interview. Friday a.m. we head home. Can't wait!
