The Harberts

Hello everyone!!  Sorry this is the first time I have written.  Thank you SO much for all of the birthday wishes!!  It has been wonderful.  We got up this morning a little later (very wonderful:)) and then went to the care center.  They had a closing cerimonies for us, which was very beautiful, but also sad because the nannies had to say good bye to the kids.  They had cake for us, and a couple of the people in our group said it was my birthday cake – not going to complain about that!!

Afterwards, we came back to the guest house and quickly got changed.  Then we went to the U.S. Embassy.  I must say that this time going to an embassy we A LOT more positive experience then the last time I went to one of those!  It really didn’t take that long.  We waited outside for a little bit, then were brought through security.  After which we waited again in a room with some toys for the kids.  Ahbea and Aysha slept most of the time.  (I don’t know if anyone mentioned it yet, but Ahbea is TOTALLY a thumb-sucker!)  Mom, Dad, Ahbea, and Aysha were called up, and went to a different room for about 5 minutes.  All the questions went well (from what I hear) and they are able to come-on-over!!  PRETTY EXCITING!

We are planning on having pizza tonight from the pizzeria close by.  For those of you who know my family well, we usually have “twilight tacos” whenever we travel…guess we are going to have pizza instead .  I was especially excited the first time we went for pizza there because it reminded me very much of the Pizza Planet in Lupeni, Romania. 

Looking forward to talking to you all soon!  Crazy how it snowed back home – today was the first day it hasn’t really rained here. 

Grandma Stubbe, we are talking about you as well as other family members with the twins .  They DEFINITELY know they are loved!!  They have their picture here from their book.  They are beautiful, guys!!  Anywho…

Love,

Chelsea
