...until we are holding our sweet girl in our arms again. Oh my heavens, it's unbelievable.
I don't have much time to write because it is CRAZY busy right now with a big birthday party to host tonight and a bunch of other stuff between now and Tuesday night when we leave, but for fun, I'll post a copy of the card I made for the nannies who take care of Anya. We're required to bring gifts for the 8 nannies and the 4 orphanage officials.

I got each of the nannies a pair of nice warm Isotoner gloves and little heart-shaped box of chocolates. In English, the card says,
Thank you for all that you have done with your hands and your hearts for Anya.
We know that she has been loved.
Kind Regards,
Jeremy and Heather Fillmore
Since there's a small chance the judge could waive the 10-day waiting period, in which case we would stay there this trip and finish the process to bring Anya home, we have to bring *everything* with us. The gifts, Anya's clothes and everything we'll need to keep her entertained. It's crazy trying to think of everything!
We're getting so excited! I feel like I might explode with stress, but I'm not complainin' :) We're almost there!
You know I love ya, but I am GREEN with envy..oh how I wish I could get my Paisley. Thrilled for you Heather, I think the world of you, your family and of course your sweet Anya. All my love, can't wait to watch...but I'm still jealous :)

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! My heart is going to burst for you!!!! I am SOO excited for you! HOw are you even sleeping at night? I LOVE that idea for the gifts!! I might have to copy that one later....it is SO sweet and brought me to tears!
ReplyDeleteWill you be posting to your blog while you are over there? I hope you get to bring her home with you this time!!!! We will pray for you and I bet she will be soo excited to see you!
Excited for you all. Praying that it all goes smoothly and beautifully and that Anya will soon be home.
ReplyDeleteI am a friend of Kecia's - so I blog stalked you through her :) I just wanted to say congratulations on your new daughter and I hope everything goes as smoothly as it can over the next few weeks! I think you are just amazing for adopting Anya, and truly a great example of what love, family, and this life is really about. I am so thankful there are good people in the world spreading the news about organizations like Reece's Rainbow. I had no idea it existed, but I am so thankful that now I can help DO SOMETHING instead of just wishing I could help!
