Today was a fun day of watching Dinara sleep. We purchased a stroller two days ago and we finally introduced it to her today. She loves it! She was smiling as we wheeled her around and fell asleep in it. We were told by our new translator that she doesn't sleep well right now due to her congestion and that she is waiting to sleep while we are around. I'm okay with this. Yes we don't play as much but she needs her sleep to get better and stay better. We would take her out of the stroller for a little while and she wanted right back in. Whoopee! One less thing to worry about when we are in airports. We want her to be able to sleep in the stroller so in Frankfurt she can get some rest.
We received an email today from our Agency telling us that the medical information should be at the embassy in Moscow today. Yeah!!! This means Dinara's provisionary VISA should be issued today or Monday. I am going to call Moscow today to make sure this is happening. I will either call the embassy directly or get our cooridinator to go and check. One way or the other I am finding out some information!
Well not much else has happened today. Our little girl is continuing to get better...her congestion doesn't sound as bad. Her mother is continuing to buy her stuff (well not so much anymore as I have a suitcase filled with stuff for her). She loves the blankets that Grandma has made for her...sometimes she will sit and just pet them. Dinara is beginning to become more vocal...lots of baby babble, which is promising as many of the sounds are beginning to sound like English.
Enough for today. I'll see about getting some pics to post from the bazaar. The pics might have to be posted when we get back though...I'm not sure bringing my camera and screaming tourist is such a good idea. I'll take some pics with the cell phone and show you when I can get them off the camera. Miss you all.

Hi Nadine and Andrew,
You want Dinara to sleep as much as she can. The stroller is a good thing for her.
You will spend many hours pushing that thing!
I am anxious for any pictures you post.
I like seeing her culture too.
We are finally having some nice weather here. I am off to dig up some perennials today.
Keep writing!
Love from Tilbury
Hi Kids, am starting to really get withdrawal,if you know what I mean. It's good to hear that Dinara is like the rest of us and she can sleep anywhere,anyhow, anytime. Praying all the paper work comes in fast and you all can come home soon(er). Dinara sleeping is an excellant way of getting better. Hope your sleep is also ok. Loving you as always. Mom & Dad/G & G
Thanks for writing: any info is like a tonic to us all. Dinara obviously feels safe and happy in your presence. This is a huge step. As for the eternal question, there is no "or". It is all of the above, depending on the mood of the child. When it becomes a spaceship, that is another story! Will write an e-mail later today. Love to all three of you. Happy Nana & Excited Opa.
Hey Nadine, I am reading all your blogs :) I am glad for all of you, and waiting to see Dinara's pictures.

Hi Nadine and Andrew,
Glad that things are going well, and was sorry to have read that little Dinara was not well. Glad to know that she is getting better, and with all the love and support from you and Andrew, She will be a strong and healthy little girl.
Take care, and am thinking of the three of you.
Love Pat H.
Happy to hear that she's looking to be a good travel buddy! You'll have no problems spending hours in the mall pushing her around in her stroller!
Fingers still crossed for all the paperwork to be speedy!
*hugs*
