Still no travel date..

We are still waiting for a travel date.  We had to turn one option down because it conflicted with Chris' work schedule.  Even though it is hard to say "no" to a travel date and we're so ready to bring these girls home, we are only hoping for a few week's delay, perhaps a December 6 travel date.  Waiting to hear if that is acceptable.  

We also found out that we have to increase our stay in Bulgaria by a few more days for a TB test.  This is something the U.S. Embassy is requiring but no reason for concern.

It is hard to believe these girls are ours, and yet we're so far away.  Hoping to hear soon.  

Learning about classical Rome

Typical day in school, in our Spider Man jammies, continuing in learning about Classical Roman period.  We made a wax tablet that children would use to write on.  Our is made out of play-doh.  We learned about different types of people in Rome.  Patricians, Plebeians, and Slaves  :(
