We Have A Date!

Vika's Girly Room - One half finished!

Although we still have a small mountain of paperwork to complete and bring with us to Russia, we now have a court date!!! We will be going back to see the kids (yeah), have our medical exams done and be meeting with the judge on July 11th & 12th for her decision!

After court, it will be another 30 days before we can return for a third time to process Denis and Vika through the U.S. Embassy in Moscow and come home for good - if the judge says okay of course!

So, there is light at the end of the tunnel!!!

Myles will be vacationing with my family in NY for the week and be spending time with his Grandma & Grandpa, aunts, uncles and cousins, so he's pretty excited about that! Plus, it should be alot cooler there than it is here in Texas. We are expected to hit the 100's this week!!

For now, lot's of paperwork to chase and walls to paint. Vika's furniture is coming on Wednesday!! :)

Sporting Progress!

Well, it seems as though we are finally starting to make some progress! After receiving some disappointing news that we needed to re-do some of our paperwork for the judge before they will assign us a court date, the Lord sent us an Angel last week in the form of a CPA! :)

Our original Financial Statement, prepared for us by a CPA in Minnesota that works with our agency, was rejected by the court because it was out-of-state. :( So, it took a while, but I finally found a CPA in Texas that could help us out. So, Myles and I traveled to Austin last Friday for an apostille and our new documents will be off to Russia with the help of another family who is traveling for their court date this Friday!

The Powers, who are adopting an adorable 2 year-old little boy from the same orphanage, and traveled over Spring Break with us, are scheduled for court the week of the 18th. We're praying for their safe journey and very successful outcome. :)

Meanwhile, we took delivery of the boys furniture last week and I was able to put Myles' and Denis's room together yesterday! Yeah! I think it turned out awesome. Apparently, Myles agrees too!! So, I guess you could say I hit a homerun!!

Next, I will be moving Myles in and preparing his old room for Miss Vika! Busy, busy, busy... makes the waiting a lot easier to take. :)
