We're Outta Here!

Hello all!  I can't write much, as I need to keep an eye on Avery.  Today is "gotcha day!"  We busted her out this morning, had lunch, Facetimed with family, and will be packing, having dinner and heading to the train this evening.  We are pretty much going though the same thing we did with Aaron....she is constantly touching everything, exploring everywhere, and never stops moving!  Only she can walk and therefore much quicker in some ways.

We decided to take the overnight train instead of express train so that I can contain her better in an individual sleeping compartment.  If she has one of her "fits" I can manage her better than in a train car full of people.  Since we have been back here on this second trip she has not had one episode of screaming.  Yay : )  We will be in Kiev for the rest of the week, taking care of her medical appointment, finishing paperwork at embassy, and acquiring her visa.  We travel home on Saturday, Sept. 8.

The blogger app on my ipad does not allow me to arrange the pictures in order, but I'm sure you all get the idea.....

  2. So wonderful! I am just so glad that this sweetie will not spend the rest of her life institutionalized. She will know where she belongs: with her FAMILY! Praise God. Hope the rest of the details work out smoothly and your travels home go well. God bless.
