Only Seven More Days

In seven days, we finally get to take Tyler from the orphanage and start the journey home.  Before we do that, we do have to get a Russian passport and a Canadian visa for him.  The end is definitely in sight!

The first picture was taken on our first day back.  He is still the gentle, loving little boy.  In no time, he was smiling, giggling, and imitating lots of sounds and actions.  The next picture shows him enjoying a Nutrigrain bar.  The third picture was taken the day we returned to the orphanage after our court hearing.  The caregivers got him all dressed up for us!  You have to love the yellow tights and the hoodie done up - you never know if it is going to be cold in the play room!  The next picture is Tyler sporting a fleece outfit we plan on dressing him in when we get to leave the orphanage.  Thanks Kim and Dave!  I'm sure the caregivers will think that he is underdressed for the weather but we think he looks pretty cute!  The final picture was taken the last day - he was so tired, he fell asleep!
