Well as of today it looks like we are going to be making 3 trips the 2nd for court late March and the 3rd  to pick up in late May , so we will be home on Sunday the 28th we have chosen to do this because we need to take care of some paper work and would rather do this from home instead of waiting here for the 3 weeks that way Isabel is able to go back to school and us to work the next trip will be only 3 days a short one.

So now we need to book an in country flight to Almaty not such an east thing to do Tatyana came yesterday from Almaty by train 22hours so we are praying not to have to take the train, but if we do we do we are trying very hard to go with the flow, not always as easy as it sounds.Today we woke up to snow large white flakes vert beautiful and not too cold, we also got to go upstairs to the playroom which gives us a lot more space and a few more toys although Oliver was very tired and was not really into playing with anything it is so hard to try to keep him awake all he wants to do is put his head on your shoulder and go to sleep, but we are not allowed to let him do this as it makes it harder for the care givers they have alot to do so they need all the babies in bed at the same time and we understand this so we took him back a little early which always makes us sad, lets hope he sleeps a long time and is ready to play this afternoon.

We have been signing lots of papers for court all this brings us one step closer to bringing Ollie home sounds so funny to be writing his name but really good at the same time , we are not sure if we will just call him Ollie as a nick name or full time Ollie or Oliver

After our lunch is was time to go back to the baby house, we were really hoping Ollie had a good nap so we could spend the whole time playing, he was just getting up so not really sure how long he sleeps all we know is we pick him up at 2.00 and by 3.00 it is really hard to keep him awake cannot wait until he is home, he really is sitting up so well and catches himself if he starts to topple, we noticed how straight his back is and he seems to hold his head so high he also seems so proud of himself .we told him we are all proud of him too, he really is starting to feel like our son it is so hard when you only spend a couple of  hours with him because yes you are bonding but it is not until you are all home together that you really start to know each other its like any relationship its alot of work and takes time but is it worth it in the end 100% and more.Ollie loves to play peek a boo with Isabel and looks over my arm to see where she is while I am feeding him, today as I was feeding him lunch this cute little boy in the baby walker came through the door to see us we have nicked named him speedy he is so fast in the walker that they sometimes have to lock the door or he would end up in the hall Ollie has no interest in the walker may be the exersaucer because he loves to bounce.

Again no exploring as everybody is working on our paper work so Dominic and Isabel are in the lobby getting coffee and hot chocolate and I am alone, which is nice for a change we have another meeting with Tatyana later then we are going to dinner, not  sure where some where Victoria thinks we will like so far every thing has been good so we will let you know, sorry this post is a little short we are kinda running out of things to do and the weather has not helped at least when we come back most of the bad weather will be behind us and spring will be in the air, a great time for Ollie to explore the outside.
