Happy Birthday Baby Jake




     Happy 2nd Birthday baby Jake!!  Mama's last bit of paper work was sent to Russia today.  Your big brother can not wait for you to get home, he talks about you everyday!!
     This is one of my favorite pictures of Jake.  He is wearing the shirt we sent him, and Mattie picked out the Pooh Bear to send him.

DONE Yes DONE for now!!

     Ok August was VERY busy for us.  Finished all my Doctor appointments, went to CA for Sandra and Eric's wedding and YES Mattie was the cutest ring barrier and back to school for me. Mattie turned 4 , and now sits in a booster seat he is so proud of himself.  And when talking to him about his brother Jake he gets very excited and DO NOT say to him he is going to be a big brother because he will CORRECT you and say he is ALREADY a big brother.  He can not wait for Jake to come home every time we do something he says " I wish Jake was here".  He also says he wants to go to Russia NOW and steal baby Jake and bring him home he is sick of waiting for the judge, as am I but I tell him we need to wait and have patience!!
     So now it is September!!  Well I finally was able to get ALL the Dr's notorized which was not an easy feet.  Today I went to Fallriver to finish getting things appostiled again not as easy as it sounds but I did not leave Fall River  till every thing was correctly notorized and appostilized, thank goodness I have wonderful 1 to 1 aides in my class to cover my room this morning.  OK and after work I was off to Waltham to WHFC to drop off my last documents.  So now all my 40 or so documents are in Russia or on there way to be translated then off to the judge to look over.  So now it is back to waiting I hope the judge sends me a short list to redue but who knows.
     Lucky for Mattie and I we did receive some more updated photos of Jake.  He looks great and he received the cloths and stuff animal of Pooh bear Mattie sent him which made Mattie's day.
