We went for breakfast this morning at my favorite coffee shop and sat at the table with the "empty chair". It's kinda fun to be back here together walking on these familiar snowy streets.
Mark spent the afternoon drilling Andrew on his multiplication facts and I spent it writing until suddenly it was time for our SDA appointment. We hurried over and were happy to greet Svetta and Luda outside. Once in the building, it was nice to not feel any stress or worry about what kids we were getting. Instead, we greeted the adoption specialist with thanks for her help in selecting Andrew with us. It was nice for her to meet him and to see him explain the photo book we brought of his first six months in America. It was funny to hear him speaking with an English/Ukrainian salad of words. He'd start off in Ukrainian, but a few words into a sentence would switch into English.
We selected Nadia and Ruslan and will return to the SDA tomorrow to sign the referral.
After our appointment, Mark and Andrew started throwing snowballs at each other.
