I See Pink..Lots of Pink!

Think I have a problem? And this is only the closet. Doesn't include drawers, armoire, or 2 bins of other sized clothes! Truth is some very nice friends have given me their girls clothes. Now all she needs are some prada's to go with the dresses (just kidding).

Yes, she already has a pink Northface Jacket. Okay, Milon bought it in China but still...

Here's some pics of her room that has been finished for oh about a year :> We still need to paint but with a 2 yr old that doesn't nap anymore it's kind of hard to do. Painting would be way too much fun for him.

We're Going to Aktobe or Aqtobe!

We just got the call that we are assigned to Aktobe! I am not sure if this is exciting news or not since I can find very little information on this region. It is nice to be able to look on a map and see where we will be headed though. I am a little disappointed that this region just became a 3 trip region. This is what our travel schedule looks like.

Trip #1 Bonding period (2 weeks)
Home for 6 weeks
Trip #2 Court (2 days)
Home for 2 week appeal process and then 1-2 weeks for her passport
Trip #3 Back to pick her up

We are thinking of taking Davis on Trip 1 so he can "help" us pick her out and feel included in the process. We might go back for Trip 2 and stay until we can take her home. We officially get custody of her after the 2 week appeal process. It will depend on a lot of factors and fortunately we don't have to decide that anytime soon.

So once again we are waiting. Waiting for the Letter of Invitation. This could come any day but realistically my agency would not be surprised if it came as late as Sept. It all depends on how many little girls they have and how many couples they have ahead of us. Once the LOI comes we are only given a week or so to be packed and on a plane.
