Preparations and Excitations

No official news to report as of yet, but our preparations continue as we hope for an LOI soon. We're still expecting an August/September time table. I have weekly conversations with our coordinator. Even when she has no news to report, just talking with her makes me feel more connected with this process (and ultimately our son). She is always very positive and understanding.

This is an exciting time. We're doing something everyday in preparing for our trip and/or the arrival of our son. His room is finished. Take a look. It is absolutely perfect! I sit in the rocker everyday, just daydreaming.




We just can't wait to meet him. Recently, we chose a small stuffed monkey (a gift from our shower) that we will bring to him in Kazakhstan. I fall asleep with it every night. Yet another way to stay "connected."


Our entire family is truly elated and anticipating those first pictures and videos to be posted of our family of three. We're putting together a photo album to share with Justin. There he will get to know the faces of all of the family members who love him so much.

To our family and friends: Thanks for all of your prayers and well wishes. Hopefully our next post will speak of "take off!"
