Keeping Busy...Trying to Be Patient

My job at LifeTouch taking school portraits is certainly keeping me busy. The weekdays are so full of commotion that there is little time to think of other things. Nights are worse though. Then I start to think and wonder when that phone call might come through. We are waiting for word from the judge on what paperwork he will want updated. Both judges in Yekaterinburg ask for updated paperwork at least once before setting the court date. Hopefully it won't be too much. We know the 8 doctor paperwork will need to be updated but we have that just about set. Also other financial paperwork will need to be done again. HOpefully it won't be too difficult to get.

Other than that, yesterday we spent the day at home, enjoying the nice Fall weather. We were hoping to head out for a nice walk in the woods with Misha, our black lab, today, but we woke up to a dreary day and rain in the morning. We went to Mike's Aunt Mary's for a celebration breakfast. It is his grandparents' 65th wedding anniversary. Can you believe, 65 years? It was nice to see his family again, although ti was difficult having everyone ask how things are going with the adoption. No news... No news... No news... I felt like a broken record. Maybe one day we will get some news.

On other adoption fronts, Laura and her husband have returned home from seeing their daughter for the first time, Nicholas seems to be doing great home with his family, Matt and Carla, and another fellow blogger is still in Ekat waiting for her 10 day waiting period to laps. She should be home with her 3 girls by mid-month. What great news! I am so excited for everyone.

So now I wait for the email or phone call. I am hoping to hear something by the end of the month. A fellow Ekat adoptee who went through the same agency we use waited about 2 months from handing in her court papers to hearing about what needed to be updated. We handed in our paperwork the first week in Sept so hopefully soon. Keep your fingers crossed for us. This waiting just plain sucks.

Are you guys with the male judge? That would be lovely. Paperwork isn't any easier, but I hear he's significantly more pleasant in court.
