We have three exciting things happening this week!First, Anna will be returning to her orphanage after spending the summer in a "datcha" or summer camp in the woods near the shore of Finland Bay on the Baltic Sea. Apparently, all the kids in the orphanages in her city spend the summers here. Looks like a beautiful place.
Secondly, after a month of WAITING for her orphanage officals to return to their post, our coordinator in Anna's country is finally submiting our registration dossier to the committee. TODAY! So, they officially know of our intent to adopt her. Wow. It's really happening. Now we wait for approximately 10 days to hear of our first travel date.
Third, our kids will start school on Wednesday. We are all excited. Last night, we put together a daily schedule with the kids. Can I tell you how excited I am to have a schedule? We need some order in this place! Order is good and makes everyone happier. I'm not good at running a tight ship during the summer. Something I need to work on.
Anyway, I'm excited. Things are moving now and I feel some change in the air. Yeah!!
I agree about the schedule. We started last week and it nice. I am so glad to hear that things are moving along. I still would love to meet you. I ended up having everyone with me on sat. so, I decided that would be to much for you little boy right after surgery.
ReplyDeleteYay!!! That is exciting news!! I also didn't realize you had a separate blog for Anna. I'm so glad because I keep wondering and check your blog often to see if you give updates about Anna. So I'm excited to find this little treasure!! Good luck with everything. Thanks for all your sweet comments while we were away. It means the world to have the support of friends and family back home. Looking forward to hearing more about your travel.
