Thoughts

We get more anxious as each day goes by. Ms. Garc anxiously awaits the travel dates, while I anxiously await USCIS (old INS) approval for the adoption. I suspect each will come this week although we do not need the INS approval until just before the second trip so I do not think it will matter. There is still the chance we may have to travel before Christmas but it is seeming more likely after the new year in the middle of January due to the Russian New Year and Christmas holiday.

We were looking at little girl clothes today. They are so little and adorable. Kelly wants to buy now but I think we should hold off until after we see her so we can get a feel for the right size. Either way, she will be adorable in the clothes we buy her because she is adorable now.

Lastly, my sister-in-law told Ms. Garc that they may have a rocker/glider chair for us. That would be great because it will mean all we need now for her room to be complete is the mattress for her crib and toys for her to play with.

We get more and more excited each day as we wish that we could get her home yesterday but understand we are probably three or four months away from that happening.
