Day 12
This has got to be sounding like a broken record but I guess we should just assume that everyday we will experience something new with Lance Ivan these days. We were there today for the first time when he took a nap. Guess we just wore him down over the last two days. He slept very well. Before his nap however we did witness a big out cry....kinda fussy. We did get a few looks. We also picked up some baby foods for him at the store. More new foods being introduced with no problem. And I finally found some jelly...strawberry and p.b. sandwiches are great.
Something that has come to our attention is the Ukraine culture towards children. We think it is more common place for children to be seen and not heard so much. I think it depends on the individual person as to what their true feelings are.
Aunt Judy E - We have pics of the orphanage and caregivers so we'll get some up at some point. Thank you for your interest. Lance Ivan is usually fed with a big spoon kinda shoved in his mouth and then something to drink at the end. It depends...Amanda and Kym could provide more insight here.
Yes, I was wrong about Anna being from Spain. She is most definitely from Peru. Unc got me. To recap the families that are here with us. Spain(Madrid), Peru, Ukraine, and Tel Aviv all being represented now.
DirtyAg, thanks for reminding me about college football. I bet with a new child that time will go by in no time. And maybe we might actually have a few players worthy of getting drafted next year?! I could care less just as long as we keep beating the sips!
Thanks to all once again. So long. And dobray utra or dobray noche depending on where you are at!
JM and Karen

lance is such a smarty .. i am so excited for you guys and the signing is so great.
yes the kiddos (at lest the ones in the special needs room) were fed with large metal spoons... they looked like serving spoons....myrah could not even fit it in her mouth, the food was sort of poured in. and then at the end of eating (only at the end) myrah was given a few sucks on a bottle with a large hole cut in the end.
i love to see lance feeding himself.. that is soooo great.
talk to you soon!
