12/23/2004: "It's Done!"
Yes we successfully made it though our court date!! Now we just have to wait before we actually get her but the next 2 weeks will fly by! After all the court horror stories and the prep work the actual court was a breeze, only a few questions to each of us and it was over. Such a relief to be done with that step.
Tomorrow is Lidia's birthday and we are hoping to be able to visit her but we aren't sure yet. We should know later tonight.
We did make our first trek to the "medium" market to get some basics. In a while here we are going to the "big" grocery store which stocks lots of american style foods.
But for now we are stocked up on pelmini, bread, cheese, veggies stuff to drink and we bought some ice cream to try. It's kind of fun shopping by picture for some of the stuff that we dont' know the russian words for especially some of the pasta stuff where the picture doesn't really give you any idea what's in it.. There are a few other couples here so everyone tries stuff and lets everyone else know how it is.
We'll get some frozen pizzas and a few other more american type foods at the big grocery. But the medium is just a short walk (like 2 or 3 blocks) so we'll probably do most of our shopping there. They also have baby supplies there too so that will work out great.
Just the bit of a wait and then we'll be on our way home with our new daughter!
