How time flies and stands still all at once!

It seems as these past several weeks have left nearly no time to get even the necessary things done...family birthdays, cousins activities, our own activities, the list goes on as it probably does in your family from time to time also. We did finally get the closet doors replaces, walls and trim painted and new light fixtures in both kiddo's rooms, pink for the Princess and a tan color for the Prince. We're having a difficult time figuring our what design or patterns will go on the pink. We've pretty much decided on using nautical flags and boats, anchors and such on the tan. Maybe by the next post this will be finished.

We are in the waiting for a referral stage, and waiting...waiting...waiting. We are just about finished with the updated home study and financial statement. This next week will will go get newly fingerprinted and get an updated FBI report. That seemed so scary at first, now we seem to be in a repeat mode. Many of our documents expire in the next 2-3 months so we are starting to get all new updates.

Russia has really cracked down on international adoptions again. We do not think that these new decisions will delay our process, but please join us in prayer about all our documents being accepted, without delay and that our referral is "healthy" in body, mind, soul, and spirit. We couldn't list that desire on our paperwork, but we petition God for this daily. Thanks for your support and prayers. God is good...all the time. Steve & Cheryl
