Hello again everyone! Sorry for the delay in posting, but we have been getting things settled here at home. Today marks one month since our day in court. Things have been going quite well and so many things have happened during the last week and a half. Victoria had a blast as she colored her first Easter eggs. She could not wait to see the results of the coloring, so we had to keep telling her to wait….not an easy thing for an excited 6 year old! Hahaha….
Victoria’s Uncle Joe had us all over for Easter dinner. Even though they met us at the airport, this was Victoria’s first chance to play with her cousins Joey and Kyra. Fun was had by all…as they played on the swings, rode scooters, etc. Of course, Victoria also got to take part in 2 Easter eggs hunts!!
Our little girl had a chance to bake her very first batch of cookies with mommy and daddy. She made a delicious batch of chocolate chip cookies and helped cut-out/decorate festive Easter cookie cut-outs. Over the past week, Victoria has thoroughly enjoyed her afternoons in the park (there are a few really awesome play parks around here).
On Thursday, Victoria had her first state-side doctor’s visit. Everything is looking OK and she was a big girl, but she absolutely did not like having her blood drawn or all of the immunization booster shots…poor thing, but nothing that an ice pop could not cure!!
We signed up for the YMCA so that we can take part in family swim….Victoria asks to swim on a near daily basis. This weekend, we traveled to Victoria’s great-aunt and uncle’s house for a birthday party where she was able to play all evening with a number of her cousins.
Similar to her visit to McDonald’s in Moscow, today was another red-letter day in the life of a child…we took her to Toys-R-Us. As expected, she wanted nearly everything in sight, but was very good when we stuck to our list of items to pick up.
Hope everyone had a great Easter and that you enjoy the pictures. We will try to update the blog on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, so keep an eye out for updates!!
