Being Sunday we only have one visit with the children today, but first we are taken to meet with the lawyer who will represent us in our March 9th, court appearance. He speaks to us through our interpreter on how to make our appearance go smoothly, explaines some lines of questioning that we may expect, and takes some of the pictures that we have brought from home to add to our file that he will present to the judge.
After that a quick visit in the morning hours at the baby house. There seems to be just a skeleton staff on Sunday and the caregivers and nurses are not the usual crew we have seen through the previous week.
Katja continues to be more animated and expressive. However she still spends quite a bit of time with busy work games on her own; stack the tea set, knock down , repeat. remove shoes from shelf, rearrange shoes, repeat. Neatly arrange papers into tidy stack, mess up papers, repeat. All very amusing to watch.
We had a free afternoon, so we went for a walk and ate lunch at Johnny Walker's Pub, a Scottish place with familiar food. Wait staff in kilts! We have heard of this place from other families as a kind of haven when you get home sick. Our waiter did not speak english, but the menu was in both Russian, and English. Fish and chips with tartar sauce (and peas?), and pizza. Good times! Very tasty!
