12/29/2004: "One more week!!"
Good news from Khabarovsk. Yesterday we found out that we will be going to the orphanage on January 5th to take Lidia "home" with us!! That is much earlier than we expected! We had been thinking it would not be until the 10th. That being the case, they had to cut this week's visits short. We went today to visit her, but we will not go on tomorrow or Friday. That is not so bad, because orignally we thought we would have to go a full 10 days without seeing her because of the holidays. Now it will only be 6!! We are quite excited and cannot wait!!!
Lidia was SOOO excited to see us today! She practically jumped into my arms. It was so great to see!! I just hope she feels the same way in a week!! I really feel we're going to have a really easy adjustment with her. She really likes us alot. It's almost like she knows who we are!
Anyway, we are going to play cards with the rest of the crew but wanted to update you all. We'll post more pictures later before we go to bed. (probably sometime around 8:00am Wisconsin time for those of you anxiously awaiting)
