EE Day 4- SDA appointment

Just a brief note---still no pictures. I thought I would be able to use our home laptop here at the post office, but they are not Vista compatible. I will try to find some other way.
But meanwhile... our SDA appointment was this morning at 10 a.m., and they wanted us to bring "all of us" so the babies came too. We met in an office, sat around a small table, and were presented with Mattea Olena's "file" which was one sheet of paper in a page protector with a little photo in the corner of her as a baby. They say we may have the photo after court, which I am hoping as it was very tiny, too small to take a photo of. The appointment lasted only a few minutes. We were asked one question, how we came to know of her. That was it, and we were finished. Now we will head to Izmayl on Sunday morning, and finally on Monday we will get to meet our Mattea Olena!
The babies are slowly adjusting. Estuardo was wired last night until about 2:30 when he finally crashed. Late, but better than 4 or 5. Tonight our facilitators are supposed to be taking us to the circus! It will last until around 10, and I am hoping that will tire them out enough to sleep. Tomorrow we hope to do a little sightseeing before we leave for Izmayl.
Our facilitators are not holding much hope out for us getting the 10 day waiting period waived, so we will most likely be doing this in two trips, not one. They are guesstimating our court date at about 2 weeks from today. So probably Christmas at home but not with Mattea. But we are very excited to be meeting her in just a few days!!
