We are parents!!!

Our little princess is sitting on the bed with Kelly playing with a toy. I waited in a room while Kelly went down to change Katerina and pick her up from her room. Kelly will post something later about the process. She said that Katerina smiled at Kelly when she entered the room. Kelly felt good about that. Then said goodbye and received kisses from the care givers. Kelly said it was sweet.

More posting later after we have had more time with her.

I will add, Cindy's hat fit her (a little big) and she looked adorable in it.

Boots!

We got Katerina the cutest little pair of pink boots tonight. She will need them because the weather is still not looking good for Moscow next week. Mid 20s for highs and snow a few of the days.

We just wait

Everything is in Moscow. Now we just wait for the court date. Hopefully it will be sometime in February but who knows, may be early March.

In the interim, we are buying clothes for Kat. She is going to be so cute in her new clothes.

Miscellaneous

* We went clothes shopping yesterday. Actually it started out as shopping to replace Kelly's lost clothing when her luggage did not make it back to the USA from the nightmare plane ride. Turned into buying stuff from Old Navy and Target for Kat. We think the sizing is about as right as it can be.

* Blood work came back negative for the four areas they wanted tested. Just need the actual paper results and then we can send the final medical documents to Adopt-A-Child.

* We pay the final bill tomorrow.

* We learned the pattern/motif for Kat's we choose is being discontinued. Luckily we were able to secure all the parts. It did take a little searching online to find the mobile. All's well that ends well though.
