Adoption/ House Update

I have been bad about updating the blog, I get so busy and forget. I have been running around these past few days trying to gather more documents for our adoption. It becomes quite frustrating when I have to rely on others to get me what I need. We have our region now which is Moscow and next week our paperwork should be getting sent to Tallahassee for authentication and then from there it will get sent to Russia for translation. So we hope to have news in the next month or so about when are travel dates will be. We are so excited and can't wait to finally go to Russia to meet our new addition. I am trying to maintain myself but it's hard, Michael is the calm one and I'm the bug. We are still waiting on the permit for our house addition, which is also frustrating, again, relying on others to help us make something happen, hopefully soon we will get the green light with the permit. Our Koi pond is doing a little better, we had a disaster a few weeks ago and lost all of our Koi except for the big guy Babatopae, we are working on it with hopes to add more friends for him in the future. Stay tuned!
