Waiting, waiting and still waiting!!!

     Well here we sit and wait for the referral for Mattie's baby brother/sister.  My agency is telling me I should hear something in April so luckly April begins this Wednesday.  Mattie and I have been keeping busy.  Saturday the weather was great so we were outside all day.  Grandpa came over and helped us with yard work and he put the training wheels on Mattie's 2 wheel bike so he is ready to go.  Now we just need to get him a new helmet.  Today the guys went out working so the landscaping season has offically started and I work I have my MCAS ALTs to keep me VERY BUSY.   So as I wait I have plenty to do but it would be nice to get my referral and travel dates soon.

     Maybe things will work out perfect for me and travel to Russia will be over my April school vacation week.  Right now a couple I met at a Russia travel meeting for WHFC are in Yeketerinburg Russia meeting their 2 boys so lucky for me they have been giving me tips so my trip should run smoothly.  

     Hopefully my referral comes before the Easter Bunny or maybe the Easter bunny will deliver it himself wouldn't Mattie love that candy and news about his baby brother/sister.  

     We will keep you posted,  Beth and Mattie

practicing putting in photos

Well I figure it is best if I learn how to add photos now so when in Russia I can add them for all of you to see as I travel.  Here are some photos of our big shopping spree.  Hope I can do this!!  Beth and Mattie

Shopping

Mattie and I went shopping last night and what a bargain we found.  As I have taught Mattie wait till it goes on sale and boy did we find a sale.  At Old Navy we found hats and mittens for 47 cents, yes that is right 47 cents each so we picked up 20 for me to donate to baby H's orphanage.  I am sure I will be gong back to pick up more, they will be easy to pack and very useful in Russia!!  

New Adventure

Mattie and I decided to start a blog so everyone can follow along as our family grows.  I am hoping to travel to Russia the end of March or the beginning of April to meet Mattie's brother or sister.  This is my first time designing a blog so bear with me.   Beth and Mattie
