Waiting for a Court Date...

We have been home just over a week and we have been busy entertaining friends and family and getting Garretts rooms ready for his arrival home. The Kaufmans stopped in to hang with us a night and we had a fantastic evening catching up on our old Federal Hills days. Their 3 kids are terrific and we were sad to wave good bye when it was time for them to continue on their journey home.

We also had Gram and Coach in town for the long weekend. (Chris's parents) They were down from New England to enjoy the warm sun and a lot of play.

We completed the rest of our paperwork and sent it to be authenticated on Thursday. We are suppose to get court dates at some point this week and hopefully be traveling by early to mid March to bring him home. We are starting to get our visa paperwork together and the gifts we need to bring over for the contributing forces that are assisting us in finalizing the adoption. We have several boxes put together full of orphanage donations as well.

Jordan and I spent the afternoon shopping yesterday for some clothes and a special nigh night for Garrett. It was so great spending some quality time together. I think she is grasping the concept of having a baby brother in the house... I am just not so sure she understands that he will be staying forever. Today we decided to play hooky from our chores and we spent the afternoon swimming.

The room is almost complete and we are eager to carve out a special place for him in our world. Hope he is up for it!!!

Will keep you posted on our court date and travel plans.
