happiness.

we are having so much fun.
stella had a rough night on monday night. she screamed for 2 1/2 hours straight. she woke her self up coughing and that's what started it. luckily we have a very sweet adoptive mom right next door who heard her screaming and came to see if we needed anything. luckily, she had gone to the parmacy the day before to get cough syrup for her daughter who had the same cough and gave us some for the night. she FINALLY went back to sleep. despite the long night, she STILL woke up in a good mood! she was all smiles and ready to play. we had to rise at 530 am on tuesday for our 715 am embassy appt. we were there for 3 hours and stella handled it like a rock star :) i, on the other hand started getting sick on monday night - TERRIBLE sore throat - and by the time we got back from the embassy felt like TOTAL crap. so i was in bed down for the night by 8 pm. HA! so not like me! michael knew i didn't feel good! he went to the pharmacy and got me throat spray and cough syrup for stella. we are all MUCH better today though! she did wonderful last night! only woke once. we gave her a bit of a bottle and she was right back out. she slept until about 830 am. we've had a lazy morning. we ordered fruit and yogurt for breakfast and all had a picnic on the floor :) stella pooped a little on her daddy and we had to throw her in the tub this morning :) we just put her down for a nap. when she wakes we will have some lunch and then maybe go play in the baby room. the sun just came out so we might go to the pool too! we get stella's visa and passport today. we are EXCITED to have those because it means we can come HOME. it's fun to be here & have this time together, but we are ready to come HOME. pictures later today.
