Where does the time go...

Busy, busy, busy ... but a FUN busy!  We've been visiting friends, celebrating holidays and getting ready for more holidays.  Love this time of year and MG is at a great age.

We are still moving forward with another adoption. Things with the first referral didn't work out and we are OK with it. We were still finishing up our home study and were scrambling to finish it to secure the referral. In the end it just wasn't fast enough. There was also a good chance I could be traveling over Christmas, so it all worked out for the best. It's going to be hard enough leaving her without throwing Christmas in there.

Right now our paperwork is in Russia and we are going to touch base with our coordinator at the beginning of the year. I knew this agency was fast but never dreamed it would be SOOO fast. (no complaining :) So for now we are going to enjoy the holiday time with MG.

Meeting MG.

She is a doll!
Things went great today and she is a little ... very little doll. Everything happened very fast this morning. We met with the officials as planned and then went to the baby home. We were only there ten minutes when they brought her out to us. She went right to both of us and didn't cry once. We got to see her twice today and she played well and picked right up on things. We will visit her again tomorrow. We are already dreading leaving.

Looks like the Regatta is going to be quite big next year ... her birthday is x.xx.xxxx!
 

Meeting Daddy!
