We’ll admit that the last 4 or 5 days at the baby house have been a bit rough for us and for Darina. We are all going a little loopy from all the time spent in the visitation room. After not seeing Darina on Sunday we were anxious to see her today but we came at a time when her group was getting dressed to go outside and she was the only one not going (since she was waiting for us to come.) She was not happy about being left out and was inconsolable for the first 10 minutes we were with her. We took a deep breath and prepared for “one of those days”. Although the first visit was a little rocky, our second visit was one of the best we’ve had since meeting her. She was all smiles, very cuddly, and again amazed us with how far she has come in the last month. Today we brought out a puzzle that we played with for the first time many weeks ago. When we introduced the puzzle to her she just kind of looked at it and needed our guidance to even know how to pick up the pieces. Today, Darina completed the puzzle independently and did so rather quickly (she knew we weren’t going to let her color until the puzzle was finished). She is such a beautiful girl inside and out and we are so excited to bring her home!
We are currently making dinner and waiting for our coordinator to call with any news on the court date. We will post again later if we hear anything.
She had so much fun playing games with Dada today. She laughed non stop.
More laughing...told ya
Eating a very messy snack! James and I might be the only ones who think this picture is cute.
She is such a sweet cuddler...melts my heart.

Oh I love the snack picture! All of the pictures are so cute. It sounds like we might have a miniature me with puzzles. We will have fun playing with those together! Hope you guys here soon! Tangent but James may like this...when I was typing soon above I missed an "o" so it came out "son". If you don't remember that then I just made a fool of myself. Anyway, love you guys and I cannot wait to see you guys!
The snack picture is ooh so cute. Of course, I think all of the pictures of my almost official granddaugher are wonderful. Love them all and love you all. Kari, I like your haircut. Praying there is great news soon. Love, Mom

And for those of you who have ever watched Dawson's Creak on DVD (we have twice since we've been here) and have been dissapointed by the random intro song: Hey, Hey, Hey, Ya!
We can't wait to hug that little cutie pie! We are looking for a house where our grandkids can have lots of fun through the years! We love your blog and can't wait to hear the good news!
