91 Days and Counting!!

Yes, that's right we are counting the days until we are in Ukraine meeting with the National Adoption Center. OK...OK...we are on the WEEEEE bit EXCITED side so just bear with us. If you see our heads spinning or have a glazed look in our eyes with a smerk on our face ...you'll know why. There is so much to do between now and the time we leave for Ukraine it can be overwhelming. We have plane tickets to purchase, documents to update (any document over 1 year old when we meet with the NAC in July needs to be updated...such as our fingerprints for statewide criminal clearance, physicals, agency license, doctors license), travel items to purchase, over-the-counter meds for us and the children (just in case we need them while in Ukraine), Medical Evacuation Insurance to purchase, International Cell Phones, Child-proofing the house, Finish children's bedrooms, meet and select a Pediatrician, check into our healthcare coverage while in Ukraine, Coordinate with Dr. Yuri in Ukraine to meet and examine the children while in Ukraine, learn some Russian and Ukrainian, purchase thank you gifts for our Ukrainian Adoption team of people helping us in Ukraine, attend a child/infant CPR & First Aid class, Creating a Registry at Babies R Us, Toys R Us and Amazon.com, cook and freeze some meals for when we return and many other little things that I can't think of right this moment. OK...now you understand what I mean when I said if you see our heads spinning. So many important TO DOs before we leave for Ukraine. In the midst of thinking about all we have to do, I find myself daydreaming and wondering what our children are doing now and wondering how old are they and what gender are they and hoping and praying for their health, safety, nourishment, emotional well-being and for God to comfort them and reassure them that their Momma & Papa are on their way to meet them and bring them home and love them forever. It's going to be an emotional and joyful summer...I can see it now. I just hope I don't flood the orphanage with my tears of joy! I guess I'd better put an abundance of TISSUES on my list to purchase for our trip as well and WATERPROOF Mascara!!!! My Goodness...I can't forget that either!!! Hehehe!

Got to get started on the list so, signing off for now.

Blessings!!
