Documents on the way to Ukraine & House updates

Yippie! Our updated documents are finished being apositiled (certified by the state) and are now on their way to Ukraine to be translated and submitted with the rest of our approved documents. I pray and believe that our updated documents will be approved by the National Adoption Center and submitted with the rest of our approved documents the first time because we have supernatural favor in Jesus name.



Now that our documents are out of my hands and being approved by the NAC in Ukraine, Robert and I can concentrate more on finishing all of the projects in our house we started. Since we finished painting and rugging our 4th bedroom we moved the guest bedroom furniture upstairs and set up the bedroom. I since replaced the rest of the ceiling tiles and Robert and I replaced the closet doors to finish the bedroom. WOW...what a difference time and effort can make to a room that was previously dark paneling with bare plywood floors.



We also painted the baby's room closet and touched up some of the trim work. Robert put one of the crib/toddler bed's together. It looks so nice! Last year we bought 2 matching 2 years old crib/toddler beds at a yard sale with bedding for both and Winnie the Pooh theme rug, mobiles, wall hangings, light switch covers, curtains, pictures and a nightlight all for about $225.00. When the former owners of the cribs found out that we were adopting 2 children, the lady dug out more of the pieces to her Winnie the Pooh theme out of her garage and kept adding to the pile of accessories all for the same price they were going to charge us for just the 2 cribs. When Robert and I got in our van to go home that day with our blessings from above we just looked at each other in amazement because God had fullfilled our prayer and goal in mind for the day Exceedingly and Abundantly more than what we could have asked for or thought of ourselves....especially because the cribs are good quality cribs made by Baby Italia. I'm getting so excited to see at least one of the children's rooms come together. Our next project will be our other child's room. Even though we did get bedding for both cribs in Winnie the Pooh theme, depending on the age and gender of our older child would depend on if they would need a toddler bed and what to decorate and what theme to go with. So we will keep that room simple for now and just set up the toddler bed and finish the basics of the room until we get back from Ukraine with our children. Well, it's getting late so I'm signing off for now.
