Ok I am a day behind

Here is what happened on GOTCHA day!  It was a lot of hurry up and wait.  So I didn't have to be anywhere until 11am, then I got a call that said found some mistakes, the office is closed today but I got them to open for us not to worry.  Ok stress diverted.  It took about an hour to have them come and get me.  Just before they came I got a call on my hotel room phone a female saying something in Russian and me saying "Hello" LOL  Oh well. 

Off to the closed office to make the corrections. I was not feeling well that day.  Felt like I had the flu and really wanted to throw-up  Glad to report I did NOT throw-up.  Form corrected then to the Passport office.  Russian Passport in hand.  Now to the police station to give chocolates to the person who fined me LOL.  She let us in when it was cold.  **Side note: it's warmed up here still not hot but not freezing**  Waiting on the paperwork.  As is protocol for government work it wasn't ready and we waited and waited.  We got lunch at the Chicken House (written in English and Russian)  filled out all the Visa information.  Then we find out someone else was working on our paperwork while the Social Worker was in meetings and the paperwork was ready and had been.  LOL  So off to pick up the said paperwork and deliver it to the proper officials.  Made it just in time.  Whew!  

Now to pick up Sophia.  It was close to 8pm her bed time.  No one told the night crew we were coming to take her.  So she was in bed.  They called the director and she gave the ok.  So the pictures I wanted with the nannies and the doctor on Gotcha day didn't happen. Boris was great about taking photos though.  I got her changed into her Gotcha outfit.  A blue and white striped shirt over a long sleeved white shirt and jean capries didn't know it was so cold and a jacket shoes and socks.  The shirt said I <3 U.

Off to the hotel to take a shower and get into PJs for bed.  She did pretty well no meltdowns.  I put her in the other bed. and she pretty much fell asleep I was afraid she would roll out.  I watched and she was fine.  At one point though she sat straight up and so I just put her in bed with me on the inside by the wall so I wouldn't have to worry.  She was all over the place but slept well.  Me not so much. I got about 2 hours.  Lots of time on the internet since I wasn't sleeping.  We got up super early to head to Moscow.

Now for the good stuff:
