The task is complete and now on to fun stuff!

We finally got this last round of paperwork done and sent to our agency - yahoo! This round was worse than doing the first dossier. Boy, I was not happy (Patrick would say very cranky) for the past couple of weeks. I would recommend asking your agency what paperwork you will need to do for the Russian court, before you leave for your first trip so when you come home you have a head start.

My sister-in law said to me last week she is going to have a baby shower for me. Of course I was thrilled. So we had a great time registering at Babies R Us. She and my other sister in law were both a great in helping me to pick out all must haves for our little one. It was fun selecting and looking at things for little boys. It took us 3 hours to go through the store. I could not of got it done without them.

My friend T has already gone on shopping spree as packages were arriving at our house daily. I love all the Pottery Barn Kids gifts, his very first Boston Red Sox outfit with the cutest little ball cap that she had bought for Sean. Of course Patrick loves it too!

Hi Sharon,
We spoke via e-mail back in the late fall. We brought our Nicholas home in November from Klintsy through WHFC as well. I would love to see a picture of Sean...please e-mail me if you have any questions, concerns, or would like our blog site info to read about our trips. Any prediction on when you will be returning?

I'm so happy for you that you finished your round #1. Welcome to the waiting game. I'm also using WHFC and I'm in the same position. I think we will go back late Sept or early Oct. I hate that summer slows down & that we have other agency "changes" during this stressful time. I pray things go smooth and fast for both of us. Susan -NY
