We got to see Sveta today. She's amazing. She's tidy, and kind, and giggles a lot. She didn't cry when she saw us, she actually warmed up rather quickly. We colored, played with her new baby doll, and took lots and lots of pictures and video. We will not be posting the pictures or video on our blog for now. We will have them ready for the event on the 22nd.
What an incredible day for us. We'll leave you with these numbers::
15:: the number of words Sveta repeated to us in English after we said them. (approximately)
6:: the number of words we could understand Sveta say
1:: the number of days we've been called "papa & mama" by our little girl
