It's been a very full couple of months here at our house. Time has literally flown by! The last time I looked at the ticker at the bottom of this blog, it said 7+ months... Now it says 9+ months! Where did those two months go?
Work, for David, has been extremely hectic, with very late work hours and work weekends. It has also been very busy for me, with graphics work and also party planning and craft jobs. It's finally starting to slow down, and I have been able to find some time to get some required reading done.
I've also been able to spend some time watching youtube videos of other Russian adoptions. One in particular made me cry just thinking that one day we will be those people, bringing home our little one.
I encourage you to take just a moment and go to youtube.com and search for "russian adoption". I'm sure you'll find it interesting to see some video of what it's like over there.

Thanks for the update on the both of you. I will take a look at the youtube videos on Russian Adoption.

FROM MOM PENTECOST: Wow, we watched some of the UTube Russian and Ukraine adoptions and "life in Ukraine", etc. and it sure touched the emotions!! Happiness for those who received the children but sadness for the living conditions of the children.
We will continue to pray for our grandchild and his/her care takers as well as for both of you!!
Love ya
Thannk you soo much for your encouraging post!!! You do not know how much it meant to me :)
Thanks for the update on the both of you. I had forgotten about the adoption ticker at the bottom of your blog; I will remember to look at it from time to time.
