First Full Day in Moscow

The next day in Moscow was a free one because the embassy was closed.The only adoption job today was to have the girls examined by a U.S. embassy approved physician.We were told he would come to our hotel room arond 5-6 a.m!!!!! What???? The Dr. was super nice and informed us the girls looked great and the best news was Kati did not have a cleft palate. The orphanage had told us she had a cleft lip and palate so only having a cleft lip was a cake walk!!!!! She will have surgery December 14. After the Dr.s visit we went back to sleep. When we woke up we got the kids dressed in their cute matching clothes !!! Today was The day we would take our Christmas card picture. We walked down to the beloved buffet looking good!!! People were smiling and saying how cute our children were. I was thinking I got this 5 kid thing down when Kati vomited all over me and her million dollar dress!! I felt sorry for her and took her back to the room . She ended up feeling better and we went to Red Square and the market by it. The kids were excited because we ate lunch at Mcdonalds. The food tasted even better than our Mcdonalds here. We toured St. Basils and had such a great time. Moscow really seems like a magical place. The russian people were so nice and helpful. After a full day shopping touring and laughing we ended it by eating pizza at a cafe by Red Square. When we got back to the hotel we got a message that our agency would be by in the morning for us to fill out embassy paperwork. We all slept great
