Visit #4

Dear Victoria,

I'm finally getting around to posting about our 4th visit with you.  It was magical.  It was like you figured out we were there just. for. you.   You were so much more excited to see us, and when you spotted us down the road you let go of your teachers hand and ran to us.  You even tried testing the waters to see what you could get away with us :)  Snatching my packet of gum and some other fun things.  Somehow you figured out you could get away with more with me, so hopefully you don't remember that when we come home :)  You are so curious and are going to have so many things to check out when we get you home.  Good thing I've been running a lot this summer, I'm going to need to be in shape to keep up with you and yours sisters.

You loved the little bow that we brought you from home and had me put it right in your hair.

After our wonderful visit we walked you up to your room and you were so excited to take the toys we brought into your class.  You filled your hands with everything you could and busted through the door holding them above you head.  The other kids went wild with excitement.  It was so cute!  It was definitely hard to walk away from the orphanage that day, knowing that we wouldn't be coming back the next day, and that you would be expecting us.  The social worker promised to take our book of family pictures into you everyday and look through them with you so you don't forget us.  Its been so reassuring knowing that you will be well taken care of while we are away.

I stayed up late the other night compiling your pictures into a little video.  I'm going to put it on the iPad so your sisters can watch it lots and get to know you!  We love you so muh and can't wait till we get to come back to see you again!

Love Mommy
