Sept 6 - dialup connection - yay!

Sept 6 - Saturday 8:00 am - cool and cloudy so far today - Hi everyone I'll make this short as we (ya ya it's still all Paul) managed to connect to the internet at the apartment, and we're not sure how long it will last.... but yay! I've really missed making our updates sitting on the couch in my pyjamas.... :-)

After yesterday's post (which I just added now), we had a wonderful visit with Angelique - she was happy and playful the whole time! She ate another yogurt, we're so happy she likes it! All we've given her to drink so far is water, from a plastic Aquafina bottle - she still thinks it's funny to drink from the bottle, and laughs every time! I'm just happy she likes drinking water and we don't have to add juice or sugar to it.

We then went for dinner with Jen and Bert - we tried a place called Yakorb, with an outdoor patio right on Jeltoksan (our street) with no English at all on the menu, and only one server who spoke the barest minimum of english. It was hilarious - we all ended up getting shashlyk (shishkabobs), in chicken, beef and mutton. So we've finally had some meat this week!

We're so relieved that court is over with and that it was successful, but we're still not ready to completely relax until the 15 day waiting period is complete. Then we'll bring Angelique into our custody 24/7, and the real fun begins! We can't believe we're sooooooo close to this dream!

We'll go for another visit this afternoon, and other than that we'll just relax. We've finally slept through the night - yay again!

take care,
N&P
