Go Mariners!

I hear the team is doing well and winning games. Hope you won yesterday. We should be back home soon enough to catch some games.
They have a beautiful soccer stadium here, the season starts in March. We are hoping to find some things to do in the next couple of weeks, there is an indoor circus that we want to see.
It is getting colder by the day but we have found a shortcut to the internet cafe and shopping area, it's only about a 15 minute walk now.
Nastya went back to school this morning, we had a fun weekend, played lots of Crazy eights, she caught on quick and was overall champ. She loves the tub, fills it high and floats on balloons she has tied together under head and feet.
We signed the social workers conclusion this morning, that is the document needed to present to the judge and ask for a court date. Once we go to court we have a 10 day waiting period and than get her new birth certificate and passport. She will maintain her Ukraine citizenship until she 18 years and will also become a landed immigrant in Canada once we arrive.

Hi Debbie and Randy,

I will tell mom you said hi. Actually, I'm not in Halifax anymore. I live on Cape Island with my husband and 9.5 year old son. I love following your blog and hoping that some day we are right where you are. Godspeed and God Bless!
