Full House Today

Hi! So on Saturdays all of the families have visitation at the same time and it's kind of like a party. We go from 10-12 and it is so much fun with everyone in the same room playing with their kids and everyone else's kids and sharing toys and chatting about things. And we had our friend from Buffalo come to visit with her little girl who she brought home on Monday. I think her little sweetie was really happy to be in a familiar place and see familiar people. And it was nice to talk to her and just kind of get an idea of how things are going now that she has her full time. Apparently these kids can eat. They can eat a whole lot. Our friends from Michigan said the same thing of their tiny little one who also came home with them on Monday. I guess this will be the first time they have been able to eat as much as they want rather than as much as they are allotted or how much time it takes them to eat it. So we are going to stock up at the store tomorrow. And we are getting ready for the screamfest that is going to take place when we take him from the BH (although our Buffalo friend said her little one has been OK). Gulsanna today said she thinks that Rinat will have a tough time and she said we are welcome to keep him at the BH until we go to Almaty. I said thanks for the offer but I think we'll take him as soon as they'll let us. Now would be fine as a matter of fact. After visiting, Peter was in the mood for lagman (that reminds me- I need to write about the food. maybe tomorrow) so we went to a really good restaurant by the capital. We were talking about how quickly the time has flown by and Baheet told us that we'll only be here for a week and a half/2 weeks at the most. Oh my gosh! And then she said she thinks we'll be flying home around the 6th. Oh my gosh again! And I have to admit I am a little sad. Don't get me wrong, I am dying to get home and be back in my familiar life but I think I might miss this place a little bit. It has come to mean so much to Peter and I and we'll do our best to remember every second that we have spent here. Peter even said to me that he couldn't even imagine having a family the normal way now, it seems so boring. I don't know that labor is boring exactly but the excitement of us building our family has been great. And now we are off to our friend's house to hang out for a while before the Michigan couple leaves for Almaty tomorrow. See ya! -m
