Nursery

Well, we did decide to put together the crib and I must say it is lovely. I thought it might make me sad to have an empty crib in there but it really makes me feel so full of hope to look at it, knowing that one day our daughter will be filling that room. The rug that we got to go in her room is gorgeous, all sorts of yellows and greens with a floral print. It matches perfectly some cute flower pictures I got to go on the walls.

Our paperwork is back up to date. I just have to send off the police clearances to the agency next week. No real rush though as reaccrediation is still moving at a snail's pace. Our next document expires in March so I guess I'll start working on that next month.

Russian word of the day: suh-BAH-kuh "dog"- (note: dogs in Russia are less tame and more wolf-like, some children are afraid of them as a result. )

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Yeah, I know it's January 13th, but I'm just a little behind(or early, Russian New Year is tomorrow). We finally got our police clearance letters back from the State Police and Chris is planning on driving over to the Secretary of State's office later this week to get them apostilled. I'm glad we'll have it done before our agency is reaccredited so we won't have an added delay of waiting for it to come. Our agency is still saying probably February is when things will get moving again.

Chris got the floor fixed in the baby's room and we found a new rug to go in there. The crib we ordered on Christmas Day arrived yesterday by UPS. I'm still trying to decide if we should put it together now or wait.

Russian Phrase of the Day: NAH-shuh DOH-cheen-kuh "our daughter"
