Trip 2 - 2nd day of visitation

Today Olesya was a bit distracted... There was a Russian couple in the visiting room with a little boy and she was listening to the woman speaking Russian -- of course not really understanding much of what we said to her.

She had a barrett in her hair - it was metal and I ended up taking it from her.. she started putting it in her mouth... she tried to get it back from me... and I had to be a mom and tell her "no" because she put it in her mouth.... Then we were writing her name with a pencil and I was saying OOOOOO and then she started repeating me..... LLLLL EEEEE SSSSS YYYYY AAAAA.. it was a game... and she was giggling.  It was fun until daddy had to take the pencil away.. he was afraid she would poke her eye out!  LOL

We go back at 4:30 this afternoon.
Tomorrow we only get to see her in the afternoon... we have to get our speech ready for court and the other couple will be in the visitation room.  It should be a busy day again tomorrow.

There are no pictures of me today.. Steve didn't pick up the camera at all!  I did get a couple of good videos and will try and upload one to facebook.

We slept horribly last night.. our twin beds are bump, lumpy and the springs are sticking out and their was a wedding party in the banquet room below us...

We ate pizza today for lunch and it was yummy!

Lena our interpreter today, is very pretty.  She teaches English at the university... she looks really young, but she has been teaching there since 1997.

Talk again later this afternoon.
