Nap Time

Well, we have made it. We made it through the paperwork, the courtroom, and the wait and Colby is ours. We brought him "home" with us yesterday. Not quite home, but home for the moment.

Yesterday was a whirlwind of activity and emotions. We had to get the adoption and birth certificates in the morning and then we went to get Colby. Yes, another crazy ride to Kamensk. I am thrilled that is all over. We dressed him up in his snowpants and winter coat, both a bit big but they will keep him very warm. He looked so cute in his hat and mittens too. Then we were off. One last ride back to Ekat and then Svetlana needs to start the paperwork for Colby's Russian passport. We will get that on Wed.

It was a sleepless night for both Mike and I. We both didn't want to shut our eyes, we were enjoying watching our little man sleep. But boy does he flop around in his sleep. I will be thrilled to have him in his crib. The three of us cannot share the same bed. Someone is likely to get kicked or headbutted out of bed.

Right now it is 2:30 PM on Wed 2/18. Mike is headed with Svetlana soon to get Colby's passport and the little man finally relaxed enough and fell asleep in my arms for his nap around 1:30. He's bound to wake up soon. I promise to write more soon, with the details everyone is dying for and yes, the photos too. It is hard to download photos using dial-up. In Moscow we should be high-speed. But for everyone reading, thank you for all the well wishes and warm thoughts. He is finally ours. Now 2 is 3!
