Visit #2

Dear Kaelyn and Bryn,

We had another great visit with Victoria today.  We were able to play outside with her.  Right when she got there she came up and gave me and daddy great big hugs.  She loved the toy phone that we brought, the one that you two loved so much.  She would push the buttons and then walk around to everyone and hold it up to each of our ears so we could say hello Vika.  We played catch again with the green ball and she started getting mischievous and throwing it extra far into the bushes so she could do some exploring.  She reminds me so much of you Kaelyn, it makes me smile to think of the three of you getting into mischief together.  She loves to run around and her favorite activity of the day was having us lift her up so she could throw the ball through the basketball rim.  She just wanted to do it over and over, so when we all got tired we tried to distract her and get her to kick the ball into the soccer goal, but she went right back to the basketball hoop and insisted we lift her up.


She also did more coloring and bubble chasing and blowing.  She is so good to put each crayon away when she is done with it before she pulls out the next crayon.  We got to give her some strawberry fruit snacks today and she loved them.  After our play time was up we got to walk with her up to her room and watch as she took off her extra layer of clothes and shoes and put on her inside shoes all by herself.  She is such a big girl and will be a great example to her younger sisters.  She was very excited to show us that she was wearing a big red hair bow today.  She kept looking at the pictures of you two and pointing out your bows and then pointing to her bow.  I can't wait to give her the cute pink bow I brought from home for her.  I'll be sure to take a picture of her wearing it.


We miss you and can't wait to see you soon.  We will be sure to bring you something fun home from Victoria's country and tell you all about our trip when we get home.  It will be very hard to leave Victoria in a few days, but it is so nice knowing she is being so well cared for.  Even the man at the security gate told us how happy he is for the little girl that will get to come home with our family.


Love Mommy
