Out and About in Osu



Thursday. Seven days in. Nine more to go....

Today we ran around all morning with Edward as Percy was in court for another family. He was supposed to be here at 8 but didn't show until almost 9. This late thing is driving Dallan and I crazy!!! Anyways, the point of our errands was twofold. One, we had to get head shots for Grace's visa. This had to be done before the second part; the medical exam. We were told that we should ask for a medical waiver from the remaining immunizations. Edward said we may have to fight for this but if we were insistent they would accommodate us. So, we arrived and climbed 5 flights of stairs (thank you fit 2 the core; this would've been impossible not that long ago...) to sit and wait. Then they called us over and sent us down two flights to the clinic. There we sat and waited and were sent one flight up to see the Doctor. He checked Grace's lungs, heart, belly and hip placement. He said she looked great and was such a good girl. Then he sent us back up to the top floor. There we waited and they sent us across the hall. After that we were all done. No problems and with the medical waiver signed, sealed and ready for delivery to the consulate. Through it all, Grace was AMAZING! She played and laughed and caused not a single problem. We're really lucky to have this little girl!

Oh I am so glad you have had not a single tiny problem!!! Does it seem like this has all been easier than you thought? Have you changed your mind about doing international again or do you still feel like it was too much? She is soo pretty!! Again, this is me, not Austin.

That is so great, what a blessing for her to be so calm (no surprise tho! shes so chill!) especially while you're under pressure to get these things taken care of, thats just one less thing to have to worry about. :) SO glad things are moving forward SOOOOOO quickly! :) I love the pix!!!!
