One trip down......

We are home. Our last visit with baby B was so bitter sweet. He was in a good mood and happy to see us. We played for 1 1/2 hours with no complaints. With all the toys around, all he really wanted to play with was a tissue. (Hey Mom- that sounds familar doesn't it!) The game consisted of passing the tissue back and forth to John. It was very cute.

Tomorrow is baby's B's 1st birthday. ( 1 month to the day of his Daddy's birthday and the day before our 8th anniversary). They will celebrate at the home with a cake (for the care givers) and decorate his crib with ballons. I was also told that the care givers will give him more attention on that day. Happy birthday baby B!!!

We are now waiting for our court date which is usually 6 to 8 weeks from this point. The Russian holidays start on Dec. 31 and last through the 2nd week of January. This might slow down the process but I've been told that all our paperwork will be submitted before Dec. 31.

From now until our court date we plan on finishing his room and stocking up on toys, clothes and everything else we need. Once the room is finished I will post some pictures.

I plan to continue updating the blog as we get information. Please keep your fingers and toes crossed that we get out court date soon!!!

Thanks for all your warm wishes.
Happy New Year!

There is no question that everything from here on out will be as smooth and productive as it is supposed to be. Keep thinking positively and sending those good karma waves.... stop buying so much and leave something for the rest of us to buy!!!!
