Another great day!

We woke to snow...about 5 inches. Things in Sofia did not slow down and thankfully we have already gotten the kids... Toni said that Vidin where Gracie was is snowed in... ptl they got here when they did.

Today was an even better day with both kids. Our little nite owl decided to play until 1 am... very happy guy , making lots of happy noises... I woke at 8 and decided to stay in bed ( must have needed to because usaully I am up and out). Paul woke me and I did not even hear him get up and shower. We got ready and fed both the kids... Gracie is eating better today. Of course Andrew the pig is eating lots.... he was much better today about leaking but we have to watch him so he does not leak on beds...

We met Toni and drove to the MOJ. We had to wait for about 15 minutes until the meeting adjourned... it was their weekly referral meetings.. deciding on prospective adoptive parents dossiers and their referrals... when they came out we got to meet them and share about our very large family and they loved our picture album... we took a picture of the director with us. She was very pleasant and spoke English. Toni said they were very impressed and that we helped give adoptions a positive picture... we prayed that we would be able to. Then the sec. deputy of Child Protective Servicres who was a part of the referral team was so impressed she wants us to meet her boss the director of the division of social services....so on Sat. we have an appointment to meet with them... please pray that we can share and give a very positive picture of how adoptions are very good for their children...not to mention the families who have been blessed by these wonderful children.

We have had a very positive day.... Gracie is much more comfortable with us and is looking like she is enjoying all the new experiences... and Andrew is such a happy one... he makes us laugh and smile with his antics... we still see lots of auto agressive behavior and it really does upset Joseph when he does them... we just tell Joseph we can't change all of his behaviors at once and time will help with those.

More snow tomorrow and I hear our back home is going to get walloped with snow Friday nite and Sat.... it is looking like it will be a white Christmas.... We did also get the kids passports today and the only thing left is our medicals and the visas interview... then home!
