Today was a little crazy! We went for our evening visit with Lizzy and there was a couple from Israel adopting and the same Ukraine woman who is usually there. Whenever there is someone who speaks Russian, Lizzy would rather play/talk with them. She pretty much talked/played with the other woman most of the time. She also snatched a toy from the 2 year old boy the Israelie couple is adopting. We told her no and they were very understanding, but geez! Then she tried to steal the little girl's juice box and the little boy's juice cup. She was a mess tonight! We were warned that if there is someone (especially a woman) around that speaks Russian, the kids will always go to her. This is understable, but we just want to hug on her and squeeze her!! The couple from Israel are very nice and we plan to go have coffee and chat one afternoon. (They of course speak English because other people know more than one language!) We are looking forward to this. It will be nice to speak with people who are going through the same thing. It is hard to really bond with Lizzy visiting at the orphanafe. There is always someone who speaks her language and people all over the place. I am really excited for the day that she gets to come home with us :) Our facilitator left this evening to go home. He will come back a day or two before our court hearing. We went to a large supermarket today to stock up on groceries since he will be gone. It was kind of like a Super Walmart. It had a little of everything. They also had this dry soymeat that our facilitator said was very good. We got some and cooked that and buckwheat for dinner. Both were very good! We always love to try new things. That's it for now. Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Love,
Candace and Paul
