Wow...where has this year gone to? When I realized that Christmas is about a month away, a sudden feeling of panic set in. Have to shop, write out cards, decorate for the holidays, and somehow fit in all the events that are starting to creep up onto the calendar.
I was shopping the other day and found some small children's blankets each rolled up with a bow. They are so soft (fleece) and really cute. So I bought some...15 to be exact. I'm starting to think about a care package to send to the Orphanage. When I was in FL, mom ordered a blanket with K's name imprinted on it in both English and Russian. I figure when I send it, I'd like to include something for the other kiddles in her Grupa. ;)
Just found out yesterday from Trish, another PAP (prospective adoptive parent) who was in Ekat a few weeks ago, that our little one has changed Grupas (same orphanage, tho'). Trish and her husband were there to meet their referral -- at the same orphanage as K. We are blessed - Tony was allowed to take a few pics of K. (Thank you!!) They are more like mugshots but precious none the less, and priceless. When I saw the number "2" on her dress, I questioned it and Trish said K changed Grupas because of her age. K is now 22 months old and I wonder how many more times she'll change Grupas before coming home. **sigh**
Sidenote: Thank you
I want to thank all of you who have either posted comments here or sent me a personal e-mail of sympathy about Lynn. I want to respond back personally to everyone but it will take some time. When I finished up last night, I collapsed into bed and slept until 11:30am today. I don't even think I moved all night! I will get back to each of you in time but for now, please accept a heartfelt thanks. Now go hug your loved ones and friends --- and tell them you love them! :)
