Spring is blooming..

I've been working on the baby's room for a while now. It started with painting it yellow a few months ago. Finally my ideas on the "garden room" are taking shape. Here are some pictures of the progress. I still have a little ways to go with building the fence. I almost hate to put up the fence now because I like the flowers so much :)

Nadeah goes for a ride...

Well, my dossier has been named Nadeah. (the names means Hope..I thought that was fitting). It was recieved in Illinois by the family taking it to Moscow. Nadeah was taking a break earlier today on her friends playset..here she is:
Jules said that Russians like red-heads. She is trying to send good vibes :)
She will be sending more pictures as Nadeah's adventure continues.

Almost Registered

Well, my dossier will be in Moscow in only a few days. There is a family traveling this weekend and they will be taking it with them. Once recieved by the Lighthouse team in Moscow, it will be translated and then registered. This doesn't mean I will travel any sooner, but if sure does feel good to know it will be there! Being registered with the region is a big milestone for me! Now the fun part about this is a little thing the Lighthouse family does. Each time a family carries someones dossier over, they draw a face on the front of the package and it gets named. They take picures of it during the trip over. I know it sounds crazy, but it's a fun way to show some progress and pass the time. Tonight I have to name my package. I'll post some of the pics as soon as they send them to me.
YIPEE for progress.

Just checking in

I can't believe it's already June..almost July. My projected travel time has changed. It looks now like it may be closer to September before I get to travel. I'm still counting on having her home for Christmas! It's vacation bible school at church and I'm helping in the Kind. and 1st graders class. It is a lot of fun not to mention good experience :). Some of these kids are a hand full!
I have been slowly working on her room. I got the most beautiful crib from a lady in Raleigh. She gave me an awesome deal on it. Yesterday I got in the crib bedding I ordered. It could not be more perfect! Most of my wall decorations are things I will be making so I'm taking my time on those. Anything to help the time go by! I hope to do the first fundraiser the end of July. That's all for now. Amy
