Saturday. It is May 31st and we get to see Ellie (or The Princess) as she is now being called. We traveled to Tokmok again with our cameras, camcorder, water, backpacks and snacks. Today we were taking formula and pacifiers for Ellie. As always, Josh and I wait in the courtyard for Maria to go get The Princess. After a short while, she comes around the corner and we all fight to get to see who holds her. Josh has really taken to her. He wants to hold her and gets upset when we take "our" turn. He will be a very protective big brother. Our time with her seems so short. You are sitting there holding her, kissing her forehead, placing your fingers in her little hand to see if she will grab it, wondering if she is focusing in on you with her eyes, and before you know it, it is time to leave. Today, Maria got to feed her. This little girl packed away 100ml of formula in less than 5 minutes. After eating, it was time for us to leave. We rode with Victor today, and on the way back we passed an accident. The only words Victor spoke during the entire trip that day (both coming and going), was "problema" in regards to the accident.
I found out today that I will be coming back to pick Ellie up as my name is on the documents and I will have to go before the embassy in Almaty.
We got back to Bishkek, relaxed for a bit and then went to the Metro for our American food fix. We get to see Ellie again tomorrow. So, we headed off to bed for an early morning rise.

What documents required you instead of Maria to have to go back for the 2nd trip? This could be a problem since I instead of my husband will be going for the 2nd trip!
