More Then We Expected

We spent a wonderful 4.5 hours with Irina today before saying goodbye. Much more then we expected! The pictures will have to tell the story because we depart for our shuttle to the airport in a little over 5 hours, so sleep is a must. We spent the day doing crafts, playing memory match, uno, cards, tic tac toe, looking at pictures on our lap top and playing Star fall ABC's on my iPod touch. A very special day!

 

 Irina and Anya and then Irina and Kristina. Kristina is being adopted by a family in Indiana. 

Her new family was in Ukraine last week for their first visit.

I didn't take any pictures of our goodbyes. I just wanted to be in the moment. She was sad and hugged us for a long time before letting go. It is comforting to know we will be coming back soon to bring her home with us.
