Friday evening without Milos

Well, it didn't work out for Milos to be with us this weekend. We are trying to keep spirits up...it is not about us, it is about HIM. And, that is why we wanted him here, and why we want him in the first place, but we still want him here in the apartment for us, too. "One of life's small disappointments; many more big ones to come!".

So, we had an afternoon visit where we gave Milos/Benjamin a snack, tried on his new coat (it fits PERFECTLY), walked around the orphanage ground (in said new coat) 4 times, kicking a soccer ball all the way around, taking turns with our little guy doing this.

Then played in the lobby..."bumper pony" with an added twist: It is FUN to go between mama and papa's legs, both frontwards and backwards.

The trams were not running well today...we usually wait 1-9 minutes for a tram to appear and wisk us to our destination. Today, we didn't wait any less than 45 minutes EACH time we rode....4 times total. And, because they were running so off, they were PACKED. At least, we stayed warm on them!

So, home after the visit, and leftovers for dinner. And an early bedtime.

And up and about to spend a warm, loving, bonding time weekend with our little Milos/Benjamin!
