A New Year

Just wanted to post a quick update for everyone who is waiting to hear some news from my end. I am still waiting for a court date. I am hoping and praying for February. There is a letter that must come from Moscow to the region I am adopting from. It has not yet made it back to the region but my caseworker feels it will probably be there right after the Russian holidays. Russia has two holiday weeks at the beginning of January and nothing is processed at that time. Luckily, court dates have been coming very consistently over the last few months so I hope that will continue. To pass time, I have been working on getting things ready at home. I have bought the items I need to travel to pick up the girls and have their room ready to go. Now all I need are two little toddlers to live in it. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. I am looking forward to an exciting and fun year on this end!

KISSES IN THE WIND...

I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.

You are here each day with me, or at least that's how it seems.

I know you wonder where we are...what's taking us so long?

But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.

Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin.

Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you.

I promise you my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.

Very soon you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.

But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.

And let the angels bring you kisses that I send to you each night.
