We were back with our babies today and so excited to see them. Some of ourselves had to restrain ourselves from leaping of the buss and running into the clinic to see them. We had a nice day today. The babies were in pretty good spirits, although a bit tired -both Alexandra and Alexandru fell asleep in the bouncy chairs. Alina took forever to eat her second bottle (or more precisely about 1-1 1/2 hours) but was in a good mood for the rest of the day. We all sat outside on blankets in the warm weather.
Friday was also a good day. Beatrice (pictured at bottom), Marian, and Mirella got into a mud puddle and had a lot of fun. Beatrice really got the most out of the puddle and was covered head to toe in mud and she did not enjoy being bathed down when we were finished. This was a lot of fun and a nice end to the week. I was so glad she didn't leave over the weekend. I want to be able to get a chance to say goodbye. I'm hoping her grandparents or her aunt (we weren't really clear on which was taking her home) pick her up while we're there so we get to see her off.
And in response to Caitlins comments I will post pictures of the twins soon and but unfortuneatly not of Crina because she has fortunately been placed in a foster family. It's not the same family her older sister Andrea was placed with but they live in the same village so hopefully, they get to see each other. It probably doesn't matter much to them now as Andrea is only 4 and Crina 2 but soemday I think they will appreciate having a relationship.

It all sounds great. Can you find out why there are so few children?
Also, how is Ana Maria doing?
Very sad about Maeistra, but I am glad Maia finally got a family... she is a bright and energetic child and it was sad to see her held back because they could not place her sister.
