Daddy & Kallie

We have a lot to report today. No! We don’t have a court day yet, but things are progressing!!! We will try to enlighten all of you about our day here. First of all, Kaiden was still under the weather so I spent the day with him at the apartment while Darryl was out and about. Kaiden and I tried to keep busy with UNO, War, Crazy 8’s, a movie (he watched Mulan twice today, that is his new favourite movie – Thanks Mike & Jen!), hockey mini sticks, Addition Pirate Game, reading his sight words, volleyball with a balloon, Connect Four, and a kindergarten workbook. Kaiden’s fever came and went throughout the day he has a sore throat and cough still. That wraps up our day. Darryl on the other hand was busy the entire day!

The plan was for Darryl to meet the driver at 7:15 and head to the orphanage to get another blood sample of Kallie’s and take it to a lab. He didn’t take the bag of snacks & toys because we were under the impression that Darryl would do business in the morning and we would visit Kallie this afternoon. Once Darryl arrived at the orphanage things changed. A nurse from the orphanage went with the driver to deliver Kallie’s blood and she told Darryl to stay and visit. Even though he was unprepared he managed to spend the entire 2 hours with her. I was jealous but happy for him at the same time. Apparently Kallie went to him when the worker brought her out but she was looking around for Kaiden and me. We look at this as a good opportunity for them to bond. Darryl returned Kallie to her group at 11 and then had to wait around at the orphanage until 1 for the driver to return. At 1:10 our facilitator Svetlana arrived at the orphanage. She met with the Chief Doctor for about 30 minutes. After that Darryl, Svetlana, and the driver made several business stops until getting back to the apartment at 4:30. Darryl and Svetlana went to the market to buy some groceries. Finally at 5:15 we began making supper. Darryl ate supper at 6 pm after going the entire day on only 1 piece of bread at 7 am. Darryl’s quote at supper was “This was the best meal we’ve had in Dnipro. I figured it out! You have to go the entire day without eating, for a meal to taste good!” LOL

Having Svetlana here is a big relief! She has an appointment for us tomorrow at the Notary Office. We will get as much done as we can the next two days (Sat. here is a working day since there was just a week of holidays). Once our paperwork here is done we sent it to Kiev and then shortly after that we will have a court date. We are still hopeful for Jan. 20th. We will keep you updated.
