OK, OK, THE NEWS YOU ALL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!

Hello,  Well here I am in Russia.  The trip to get here not so bad.  MyWHFC rep. Svetlana picked me up at 9:45 am and off we went.  Yes it is cold here so the winter coat was on!!  NO flip flops n Russia

     We had to notorize a paper then off to the Ministry to find out my referral.  Now I have been trying to get in touch with Mattie other wise known as the BOSS to tell him first but he is not at day care yet and no one is answering my home phone so I am not quiet sure where my 3 year old is.  Maybe out for coffee with grandpa.  Now do not worry I know he is fine with either Aunt Lizzy or Grandpa, and I will call day care again to make sure he is not skipping and at the beach or working with Grandpa.

     So are you ready to hear brother or sister for Mattie?   I wish I could have Malcolm (my student) do a DRUM roll for you.  So with out any more delays or me babbling on I would like to announce that Mattie is a BIG BROTHER to a baby BOY!!!  I know we were thinking pink but who knows what Mattie would have done with all those poor barbies and dolls in the house. He would have been stuffing them in his trucks using them as base balls etc., etc..

     HE is adorable and his birth date is Sept 22 2007.  He is in baby home #5 for all you Ekat families reading this.  His birth name is Gennadily (old Russian name),  so I think we might be changing it, I will have to consult with THE BOSS.  From what was told to me he seems very healthy and I have sent the info. to Dr. in RI so I am waiting to hear back from him.

     Unfortunately we got to the baby home at nap time so  was able to see him for a short time (5 minutes).  He smiled at me, walked over to me. let me pick him up and again he is adorable brown hair and eyes and small so he will have to start eating out of the snack draw with his big brother when he gets home to fatten him up.  Svetlana took a few pictures on her phone camera so if she emails me them I will post them, if not I will take LOTS tomorrow to show him off!!

     OK I am going to get dinner now then get some rest for my big play date tomorrow with my son.  And I hope my students in room 5 add checking my blog to their morning meeting.

Happy Mother of now 2 boys!!  Beth
