Short Pause in Kaz

We woke up to snow this morning. This picture was taken from our hotel room. It snowed all day.

Today was a pre-court. We got dressed up, met up with someone from the Ministry of Education as well as someone from LG's orphanage and then we all met with the judge that will be presiding over our case. He asked us a few questions, and it went very fast. I think it lasted maybe 10 minutes. He gave us a court date for November 21 at 10:00 AM. This should be the time when he declares us parents of LG.

After pre-court, we went and saw LG. She had some marks on her face that looked like insect bites. One of the care givers said that LG is having an allergic reaction to the sweets we have given her and to not give her any for a while. After we got LG back to the hotel tonight, we asked one of the adoptive parents here that is a nurse to look at LG and she said that it looked like insect bites as well. Of course, we didn't give her any sweets because we didn't want it getting back to the care giver that we ignored her advice. We've had a couple of run-ins with that care giver already. In fact, we call her the "evil care giver."

We didn't take our morning walk this morning for obvious reasons, but did utilize the facilities in the health center. They have a treadmill, stair stepper, cycling machine, and weights.
