Today...

-We slept in a little too late and were unable to get Aria and Nina ready and to kindergarten on time. (Too many full days, late nights, and sleepless nights lately.)
-I was thankful for the extra hour of sleep this morning after being up several hours during the night with some sleepless and hungry babies.
-David took the older three kids on a walk in the woods. When I called him on his cell phone, he said the kids were having fun looking for 'Bambi'. They were walking around in the woods calling out, "Bambi, Bambi". Unfortunately, they didn't find him.
-We ate McDonald's take-outs here at home for lunch. It was kind-of our way of making it up to Aria and Nina for not taking them to kindergarten this morning.
-I'm wearing a shirt that has spit-up all over it.
-Heidi and Hanna ate lots and slept lots, making mommy a little worried about how the night will go.
-David found his car keys in his shoes. (Micah had been playing with them earlier.)
-I worked on completing all the application forms for passports, reports of birth abroads, and social security numbers.
-I made lasagna for supper.
-Aria and Nina went to their cousin Beni's house (which is just a hop, skip, and jump away) to play for a couple of hours.
Tomorrow, I'm looking forward to...
-finding out how much Heidi and Hanna now weigh at their Dr.'s appointment in the morning.
I'm not looking forward to...
-Hanna and Heidi each getting a shot. (They are receiving shots which give them extra antibiodies in order to help them fight sicknesses. A special shot given only to preemies.)
-driving 3+ hours to Frankfurt, where we'll spend the night so we can make our very early appointment at the American Embassy Thursday morning. (Our appointment is at 7:30am, and we are told to be there an hour earlier... 6:30am... ugh. I think we're going to have some very tired and grouchy kids that day! Just hope mama and papa won't be too grouchy as well, or things could be very interesting!)

Yea for sleeping in! Yet you got so much done and topped it off with lasagna...maybe my recipe is over complicated, but that is NOT on my list of quick and easy meals. You are amazing, Christy!
Be thinking of you and your trip to Frankfurt.
Ksyusha and I are doing a health seminar for the deaf group tomorrow night. Too much we want to say and too little time, so childbirth got scratched fro the agenda. We'll try to do a part two about that topic within the next few weeks -before I have to go to the capital to renew my passport.
Keep wanting to write you and not getting to it. Love you and miss you all!
