Here we are!

Well, we made our decision to go back to Russia around the beginning of May. I do know that on Mother's Day we had decided that a special someone was missing from our family. I did some research and found an agency that is about 20 minutes from our house. It will be so great to have an agency close by this time around! We turned in our application at the end of May and I had our first meeting to go over the mountains of paperwork on June 2. I can't believe how fast it all happened!! We honestly were not thinking about doing this again...I think some angels were shouting in our ears to get us to listen!! Anyway, we are SOOOO excited! Travis is so excited to be a big brother. Actually, he first wanted a "boy sister"...umm...we had to explain that one....then he wanted a boy and a girl so that Mommy could have the girl and he could share the boy with Daddy, oh, and with Rock too! (That would be the dog!!). Then just yesterday he informed me that he wanted 3 babies, he explained that two more carseats can fit in the backseat and that another one could go up front and that daddy could just ride in the other car. Gee, the simple explanations of a five year old!! I told him we were getting ONE baby to bring home, hopefully that will sink in one of these days! He is too funny. I found out yesterday that we will have to be careful...when people ask Travis if he has any brothers or sisters he says "No, but we are going to get one!" and it makes it sound like either A. I am pregnant or B. that we plan to snatch a baby from a stroller any minute now! I have been getting some peculiar looks. Sometimes I just smile and shrug my shoulders and other times I feel I have to give a quick explanation, which actually turns into Adoption 101 for those who don't know much about it! Oh well! And the journey continues...thanks for joining us!
