Day 5 - Same pictures, different outfit!
I remember this point with Oksana when we were just doing the same things each day and at some point we said "Oh we should take a couple of pictures!" So this one won't be picture heavy. We only did 2 hours today and it was a much more reasonable amount of time. I'm glad she gave us day 1 to enjoy her sitting still because now we run the whole time ;)! I'd lie if I didn't worry about the energy it is going to take to parent these 4 kids! I don't have a mellow one in the bunch! This is where I see God's sense of humor!
Today we finally got to meet the director. She was very nice. She again reminded us that Anya is naughty! Yes, we get it now!! She did say though that she is a very sweet girl, she is happy, and that the orphanage can not do anymore for her so she will thrive in a family. She told us that she sleeps well once she is down but that she causes trouble when she goes to sleep so they have to separate her and another boy from the rest of the kids to go to bed! We are seriously considering finding a way to add another bedroom to our house now. Not kidding...I really don't know how that is going to fly with Oksana. The director asked us a lot of questions about Oksana. She was surprised that she walks and she asked a lot of questions about the Ukrainian adoption process. We got to share our family photo album with her and just overall enjoyed our time with her! We also got to meet 3 other kids. 2 are waiting for families and needed updated pictures and 1 already has a family who wanted an update on her. All 3 were precious! We found out that tomorrow we will get to see her room. I'm very excited about that. More to come tomorrow!

Awesome, awesome, awesome! Any luck finding Jordan's photo album?
She is so cute! She looks like she has so much personality and spunk. Seeing her makes me even more anxious to meet our dark haired, dark eyed Bul*garian girl!
