Unexpected and Fabulous News!
In which Candace emulates her mother and tells a Long Swedish Story
There are not a lot of pictures today because we were pretty ticked at each other – big argument about money – you all know who was on which side of the “should we spend an outrageous amount of money on what is basically frivolity” argument. We got to the orphanage this morning, barely speaking, played with a sleepy, grumpy Otis, and took very few pictures with the one camera we remembered to bring. Two hours later, went outside to meet Dima, glaring at each other. Then Zoya told us we had to wait for Galina who was meeting with the OD and the orphanage doctor.
Galina eventually emerged, much back and forth in Russian between Zoya and Galina…..

Fabulous!!!!! The next chapter begins.
I'm assuming the argument was about whether you should invest in another squeaky hammer before leaving Kazakhstan, and I have to come down squarely on the side of buying it. I'd get two. I'm so happy and excited for you guys; the rest of your time in Kazakhstan (and on this earth) is going to pass much more quickly.
You guys must be over the moon! Congratulations! Now comes the fun part.
I'm so excited for all three of you!
Perseverence pays off!

Dear David, Candace, And Otis,
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Finally, all together. I can only imagine how special you will all feel upon waking that first morning together.
All my love from all the way, away nyc,

I just wanted to congratulate you guys -- Otis is absolutely gorgeous. Enjoy the remainder of your trip!
Awesome news - rest up!
Yoopy-ooo!, etc,etc
Oh, my goodness, such a great surprise!!!!
Enjoy it!
It is amazing that with each day, Otis and you (both of you) look so much more connected on the pictures. He's truly your boy and now you've got to be with him 24/7.It's awesome, it's exhausting and in my personal experience the best thing ever. I'll try to call you today.
Much love,
Milena

Dearest Candace and David,
Not that you need my blessing, but we will all understand if the blog takes a back seat to your unexpectedly sudden parenting duties.
Don't listen to Elliott. We still expect daily updates. Teach Otis to type right away so he can help.
Yowza!
