HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Now we're talking!!!!! I love this picture!!!! She woke up and in the dimly lit room she allowed me to hold her and cuddle her..... Kerry fixed her bottle and she very happily ate 4 ounces of formula. Daddy had her oatmeal with brown sugar ready to eat and she ate over half of it. She then drank the rest of her bottle. Finally, she finished her breakfast off with about 4 ounces of half apple juice/ half water. We played peek a boo and patty cake for a while and now she is happily playing on the bed with her toys as you can see!! :)))
We are off to her medical exam and the embassy for her visa. It will be a busy day! We also plan to go shoe shopping for Darya as her feet are very narrow. Katia is our translator and we're hoping to pick up a special gift for her 3 year old daughter as well.

Much love to all!
Paka!!

ADORABLE! What a beautiful smile.

Katia was our translator on our first trip. Please tell her hello and THANKS for everything she did. Also, if you don't mind telling her how well Ilya is doing that would be great.

Hope you had a great day shopping!

That photo is amazing! Just love it.. ok, ana has narrow feet and they are hard to fit. Naturino has a brand that is narrow, Lelli Kelly Toddler shoes are narrow, youth are wide, Pediped has a flex fit shoe that has inserts, and UMI works well too.. most don't work well, we had size 4 on her 5 1/2 feet because the 5s fell off... good luck.
