This morning we got up early-ish for our 9:00 appointment at the US Embassy. Victor AND Anya escorted us. Well, they escorted us up to the front door of the Embassy. Kayla, the boys and I were on our own from there. It was fine, as we were kindly ushered through security and to the correct window, where a very friendly and helpful American woman accepted our paperwork and explained what we needed to do. No pushing and shoving at the window, either...we had it all to ourselves! How refreshing.
Although there was a lot of time spent in the taxi and waiting in lines, the boys' medical exams went smoothly. By the time we got back to the apartment we were HUNGRY. Anya went with us to a great Chinese restaurant right around the corner. I wasn't willing to go much further than that because it was SO COLD. With all the time I've spent in Canada in my lifetime, I've probably experienced this kind of cold before, but I'd blissfully forgotten.
Anya will stay with us in our apartment until we leave early Friday morning. We've all missed her. It's been good to process all of the recent events with her, too. Whatever am I going to do without her?
