So Close and yet so far

     Here is Jake.  Sytlana emailed me some updated pictures and Mattie and I were VERY excited!!  We are not sure what he is eating??  But we know it is not Papa Gino's Pizza!!  I know I am not a great cook but I hope I can do a little better then that?!?!?!  WOW it has been 3 months since I first meet Jake and I hope he is home with us soon.
     Well all the paper work is DONE and APOSTILED except one more Dr Apt next Tuesday and Mattie's Birth Certificate which has been a night mare to get and still have not received it!!  That is another LONG story for another day or blog.

     I have a meeting at WHFC on Monday and will hand in all the paperwork I have done and they will be sending it to Ekat to get translated so YAH some progress.  

     I sent a care package over to Jake with a family and I know he received it and I have another one on the way with another family so Mattie is excited about sending things to his brother.

     Oh and Mattie does not want to be called a little boy any more he wants to be called "Big Brother"  and since he is a big brother he does not know WHY he needs to sit in a car seat.  Oh yes I am in trouble with him.   

Almost Done with paperwork

     Well tomorrow I have an apt. with the neurologist then 2 more Dr apts and they will be done. I was able to find a oncologist and a Psy. to see me so I will be done on Aug 4th with the apt!!!  YAH and since the sun has finally come out I should pass my psy. apt. LOL!!!

     After my apt tomorrow I am going to head to FallRiver for more appostilling.  WHFC said they will send what I have done to Russia and then wend the medical stuff when it is done so that is some POSITIVE news!  Mattie and I have been waiting patiently but Mattie does ask nearly every day when is his brother coming home and he has big plans for him and his brother when he gets home.  I hope he is this excited when Jake is actually home with us.

     Not much more to report the judge in Ekat. comes back from vacation on August 3rd so hopefully he had a great time and is well rested and ready to look over some adoption paperwork.  I can not believe it has almost been 3 months since I met Jake, I hope he will be home soon.

     Since the weather finally cleared up Mattie and I have been enjoying the pool and the beach so that is a good thing.  Here is a picture of my little surfer dude.  And also a picture of us that I am putting in my paperwork packet hopefully the judge likes it.
