Final Days in Vilnius

After our Embassy appointment on Monday, we knew we would be leaving on Thursday- so we kicked up our touring!  It was a fine balance of bonding/playing in our tiny apartment and getting out and actually moving so we didn't drive each other totally bonkers!  We had a great time and it was special to know that the twins are old enough to potentially remember some of what we saw and did.

Family pic outside of the English-Speaking church we went to on Sunday- the people there were fantastic!
Rebecca took the big kids to the indoor playground at the Akropolis- it was a serious playground and they LOVED it!
When we landed in Lithuania, we met another American family who was there to adopt 3 brothers.  We actually were able to meet up with them several times while we were in Vilnius- and they were, and still are, pretty amazing!  What's neat is that they live only a few hours away from us so we hope to continue to actually see each other and not just remain friends on FB!
Our 2 families having dinner at Charlie's- yum!  7 kids under 8 and 5 adults.
The Bridge of Locks- the locks are put on to show your love is secure
Beautiful snow-covered country!

 We tried to end every evening by watching some of a movie- we had been told that was the twins routine in the Baby House.  Annalise showed an interest 1 evening- that was it- Asher never.  We think it may be due to their poor vision- time will tell...  Meanwhile Addie and Alden loved all the movie-time!

Our little local paper will print your picture if you take it with a copy of it in a new or strange location.  This, ironically, was our best family photo of all- and the newspaper is smack-dab in the middle of it!
It was a great last few days in Lithuania!  God totally blessed us- the temps hovered around 32 and very little snow fell.  Once we left, the temps plummeted to normal- single digits and lots of snow!
