Day 30
November 26th, 2004

Sorry, but no pictures tonight. Batteries went dead and I had back-ups but they would not work. Had a nice, quiet day. Got a haircut (it cost $1.70) and went to the grocery. I also arranged to move rooms on Sunday. Yeah! I am so ready for a change of scenery. Currently I am in a basic hotel room and will be moving to a suite with a living room, extra large bathroom, etc. Less than 48 hours til Dad arrives. It's like the arrival of the calvary. He's bringing coffee, lots of DVDs, Immodium and Flagyl.  He will be here for 3 nights. Then our adoption will become finalized and we will bring Rachel to the hotel for 2 nights and continue the visits with Todd. Then, one week from today we will all leave Petro and head to Almaty for the week.

The kids were great tonight. I really having nothing special to report. Todd was in an extra good mood tonight. Rachel was very talkative. Verbalizing about all the children and parents that have left the babyhouse recently, babbling on about how her Grandpa will come and then we will go home to see Daddy and Morgan. She was just happily repeating everything that we have told her. Good night and I promise pictures for tomorrow.
