One more form

Well, there is not to much to report on our adoption right now. I have been in contact with my agency, and we need another, new form for court. (we still don't have a date yet.}

I should have another update soon, so I hope I can a little more information to share. It has been 5 months now, since we saw our girl, I hope we get some good news soon. On a lighter note my mother flew in from CA., yesterday. The timing was perfect she always has a good positive outlook on life, and she has already put a big smile on my face. I will post soon.

Fall fun

Well, Nick and I had a nice weekend, we went to Lake Pepin to enjoy the fall colors. Here in Minnesota we are at peak colors right now. I must say it was a nice diversion, the waiting can be very stressful, when it comes to our adoption. We ate our way around the lake . There are lots of small towns around the lake, one half of the lake, is Minnesota, and one half is Wisconsin. We also bought some pumpkins at a cute farm, I plan to make some pies. I just wanted to say we are still around, I plan to talk to our agency in a couple of days, so I will post soon after that.

Until then Ursula

State Fair and Adoption

Well, Nick and I went to the Minnesota State Fair the other day and had a blast.

There were pigs, cows, sheep, and you name it. The fair is the second largest fair in the country, Texas is #one. Almost all of the food is on a stick and most of it is deep fried, we ate everything by the end of the night, I was in a food coma. My favorite gastronomic delights were the Cheese Curds, Deep fry ed Veggies with tempura batter, and the Crepes W/Brie, almonds, and cranberries. I wanted to try the Chocolate covered Bacon on a stick, but I was to full by the time we got to that booth. We walked through the midway where they have all of the old rides and carnies, that never fails to entertain us. But my favorite attraction is Princess Kay of the Milky Way, she is the reining Dairy Princess of Minnesota. The lucky gal who is voted princess kay gets her head carved out of a block of butter, this is a 58 year old tradition. My mother was Princess Kay in the 60's, and yes she had her head carved in butter. I enclosed photo's for your entertainment, yes that is me in the oink hat and Nick in the midway. On the adoption front, I was at my agency Friday going through all of our Dos#2. We have to redo almost everything because it has all expired. I wanted to cry, but I am choosing to look at this as a challenge. We are still hopefully going to court in November or December, I am keeping the faith.

Adoption Stress

This weekend, has been just a little stressful. Last week, we got a call, from one of our coordinator's, and he told us, that the social worker in Russia, is bound and determined to find a Russian family, to adopt our girl. He told us that one family went to meet her, and they passed. Then he wanted to know, if I would like to know if another family sees her. We hope to here from our agency tomorrow. I am praying that there are no major problems.

Nice weekend

Well, I had a really nice weekend. Saturday Nick and I went to go see Blondie, yes that Blondie. She really put on a great show, I have no idea how old she is, but I hope, I hold up that well. The first time I saw her play, was when I was 13 years old, and she played with the Talking Heads. I just aged myself (oops).

Yesterday we had Nicks family over for dinner and I made Tom Kha soup. I love to cook Thai food, and lucky for me, everyone loves it to. Nicks sister Tinka brought over some fresh cucumbers from her garden, I made a sesame cucumber salad. Yum!! It was very nice to see Nicks family, they of course wanted to know when we were going to go to court, I keep saying November. Hopefully we will know a date soon. Next weekend the Minnesota State Fair begins, I will take lots of photos, it is one of the biggest in the country.

Birthday weekend

Last weekend I had a fantastic Birthday, every night, thanks to a great husband, and friends and family. The love that I felt from everyone was truly amazing. Today I found out that, there is a new requirement for court. Here we go, I wonder how many more (new requirement's) there will be?? We also found out that court will be either in October or November, I hope sooner than later. This weekend is our 12 year anniversary, time has really flown bye.

Summer

Well, I really have nothing new to report. I can't believe that it is already late July, time is just flying by. We miss our girl so much, but I am also guarding my heart right now, there is so much uncertainty.

I had a nice weekend, Friday Nick and I saw Inception. I must say, now this is just my opinion, but I thought it was the best movie I have seen in 10 year's. Today was also nice Nick and I celebrated Bastille day, at cafe Barbette, they throw a fun party, with band's every year. I am just trying my best to stay positive, while we wait. My prayer's are with all of us PAP right now.
