Medical exam and more documents

All three kids actually slept in the same bed last night, so Molly and I had a bed to ourselves and actually got some sleep without someone kicking or elbowing us.

This morning we met Leila and the other three families in the lobby and walked down to get Leah's visa photo taken, and then on to get her medical exam. It was a pretty cursory exam, but she did great.

This afternoon I met Leila and the other parents to work on documents for U.S. immigration. It was about an hour and a half worth of paperwork - could we finally now be done?

We are all about tired of living out of suitcases and are ready to be home. Later this afternoon we went swimming, which did everyone good, and then we went to Lucy's for some American food.

Leah actually took a nap again today. She's always very busy when we're in the room. We realized yesterday that the caps were missing off of most of the water bottles we have sitting around the room, and we couldn't find them anywhere. This afternoon Leah suddenly produced a plastic bag full of water bottle caps - she'd had them safely put away somewhere. She's also definitely a girl - she had tied ribbons around her sandals earlier today.

It was full of adoptive families, but all of the kids were great and the staff was very friendly. We were done in about an hour:
