The Waiting Game Continues

Nothing much has changed in the past two weeks. Our paperwork is in Russia being translated and should be with the Ministry of Education within the next week or two. After that, we will just waiting for "The Call." It will be at that time that our agency tells us that we are traveling and that there is a referral. Until than, we will continue to wait and work on the nursery and cheer for the Ravens.

We were a little concerned because we had read that there may be a slow down in Moscow because of a new official at the Ministry of Education. We have since learned that that may be in Moscow City and we are in the Moscow region. So we are under the belief that everything is fine and confirmed with our agency that we are moving forward. We know of two other couples with our agency recently got referrals and will be traveling in the next couple of weeks. (Congratulations to Marco and Lauren!).

This week we looked at baby furniture which was truly overwhelming as there is so much out there. If we cannot settle the argument between a cat theme or a flag theme we will go with something different. We did look at some paint colors and just like everything else this will be a long process just to select a color. We have been able to actually move some furniture out of the room and into the hallway. At this rate we will be painting after Christmas!

That is it for now. The news is slow as we wait, but you will all know once we get THE CALL!
