I've downloaded some pictures today. This is Alexandra, Beautiful as ever. I was so happy she looked at the camera; she usually plays it coy and ignores the fact of your existance whenever you pull out a camera.
The last few days at the clinic have been so nice. The weather has been great, though Ironically right as I typed those words I heard thunder outside. It was lovely out a few minutes ago. We've been taking the kids outside a lot. Ionela likes the swings. The toddlers like to roam free. All the kids were fascinated by the workmen who were doing some gardening and repairs outside the clinic.
We had a new baby arrive at the clinic today. His name is Andrei and he is trhee months old. He is very pretty and has the tiniest nose and lips. We also had visitors today. Beatrice's granparents came to see her and brought her some fruit (which she was very excited about). Dan told us that they are planning to take Beatrice Home soon and that either they, or Beatrices aunt is going to adopt her as they have no idea where her mother is. I don't know when they will take her home but they are in the process of filling out all the necessary forms and such. I'm glad she is going to go home but I will miss her if she leaves before I do. She is one of my very favorites.
Ionela has been eating well. She drank a whole bottle this morning and all her yogurt at lunch. Quite a bit of yogurt came back out her nose but she's making progress. Alina also ate well. She finished every one of her bottles today -which she has never done for us.
Tomorrow afternoon we wil leave for a weekend trip to Transylvania, which unfortunately means we will have to leave the clinic early. I would be ok with not going -I'd love to spend more time with the babies - but transylvania will be fun. I'd love to see Peles again and I was sick last time we went and didn't get to see Bran Castle (Dracula's castle). So that will be fun.
I'm going to try and upload a slide show of a few of my photos. Hop[efully it will work and you can see more of my cute babies.

Alexandra is so stunning! Are you sure you can't bring her home? I cant wait to see the rest of your pictures. I want to see Alina in perspective, I know she must be so tiny! I think of you and Hali with the babies every day. I wish I was there with you.(The clean house is nice, but I like your company more)

I'm so happy to read your blog. Alexandra is absolutely gorgeous. Beatrice was the one I worked with the most last summer and so I was really anxious to know how she's been doing. On our last day at the clinic her grandparents came and it was pretty emotional for me but so wonderful to know she had people who care about her. If you can post pictures of her sometime that would be great. :) (As well as Crina, Iulian, and Marian but I don't want to get too greedy here)
