We will be boarding a plane in 11 hours! Yeah! We won’t see A until Sunday, so middle of the night for all of you Americans.
Anyways, can you please be praying for us?
Also, let me know if you need the blog password, as all posts abroad will be password protected until he’s home with us. The password will be the same that it has been since November. 🙂 If you emailed me about the password and I never got back to you, please email me again.
I took a break from regular blogging for awhile there, but I think I am ready to get back in the groove! There has been a lot that I haven’t felt ready to blog about, so I felt best stepping away for awhile. However, I am feeling inspired again. Partly because our adoption is moving along and partly because our life is getting interesting.
I really enjoyed putting that blog post together for Danae, and thinking about what I wish I knew or someone had told me. It was fun to hear from everyone. I’m actually working on another post with some input… should be interesting!
For those of you who need a Reed and Lena fix, check out this video that Reed, Lena and Danae made me for Mother’s Day…
9 days and I’ll be on a plane to go see a sweet little baby boy! I can’t wait.
We have a court date of May 29th.
We are happy, but approaching it cautiously. We are praying everything goes smoothly, as we have learned that ANYTHING can happen.
But, I am very excited to hold my baby again in 21 days!
Before I go into our visit pictures, this is where Aaron sat while we waited for them to bring A in. Didn’t Makiivka have a bear just like this?
I took a video of him dancing. Are you ready for this cute?!?
Aaron and little A seem to be having a harder time connecting. I am guessing because A is a baby and Aaron is a man. Aaron doesn’t have much experience with babies. I doubt A has spent as much time with men as he has women. So, I just sat back and took photos and let the two of them play.
But, don’t get me wrong. I still had to get my smooches in.
The end.
I realized that I haven’t really blog about anything besides our visits during this trip. Honestly, we haven’t ton much else. This is the first trip where I’ve really felt jet-lagged and just kind of exhausted. And, obviously, this trip also has a lot of mixed emotions for us. But, we’ve enjoyed getting to know A and can’t wait to come back for court.
Today was our second day visiting A. He does not know what to think of all of this.
Watching the snow fall.
I would hold the ball up in the air and drop it. Oh, what fun.
This was probably my favorite part of the visit. I leaned in really close and he laughed.
He’s pretty content just to chew on things. My necklace might have some bite marks on it now.
See? Going for the necklace?
Practicing his walking. He’ll probably be running around by the time we come back.
The last photo, right before he lost it. Can you tell he’s done here?
