First I have to say sorry I have't been keeping up with the blog.... The time has just slipped away from me because we had so much going on!
First my baby sissy is pregnant with another set of twins.... Twin little boys!!! Yes, she will have two sets of twins and then our big boy Dev. She said she is starting her own basketball team... Haa! I am really glad it is a set of two because adding our little one makes it an even number of kids on the Argue side! Mine mine never fear your little friend is near!
Then my middle sissy, we were able to stop by and see their new house. The kids showed us their big new rooms. They were so cute giving us the tour. Then her youngest demonstrated how to use the toy Auntie Key and I purchased him for his birthday. A Radio Flyer 500... I am surprised my sister didnt kill us, that things is a tad bit dangerous for a 2 year old.. Woopsies!
As for us, it has been a whirlwind of events. I will not go into details, but we accepted a different referral. We have returned from our first visit and it was beyond amazing. We cannot express how gracious we are to our agency, polish facilitator, Polish Central Authority, and the orphanage. Once everything is finalized I will revise this post with more details, but for now we will just leave it at that.
Meeting our child was awsome. We couldn't have asked for anything to go any better. What a little trooper! Now the wait to get back..... Let's pray I can stay strong.
We of course shared every picture and video with our family and friends. I don't think there was a dry eye anytime we showed them. It is also neat to hear the older cousins tell us what they are going to teach our child. I love that they are already thinking about this stuff! Everyone is just as vested in this process as we are. Our co-workers, our family and our dear friends. When I returned to work I found out that every morning they had a little huddle to see what update we had sent. Pretty cool when you think about it! The power of friends and family!
Not only did we meet our little one, but we met another great family while we were there. It was super nice to her their experience and meet their little girl! She was super cute with this AWESOME personality! Hopefully we can meet up with them once again!
As for keeping busy... The furniture was delivered on Christmas Eve, which was awesome! We love it so much more than we remembered. We put the bedding and some of the decorations up. Now we are just waiting for the artwork! I also did somes shopping with my mom... I left the house with good intentions to just let her use my coupons at Carters and Ralph Lauren... Then we got there and I ended up with a bunch of stuff. Oh well!
Well that is the update for now! Congrats to our adoption friends who are in Poland right now and to the others that are leaving soon. As for me and several others, I pray our second trips are here before we know it!
It was really nice meeting you guys. Good thoughts coming your way for a speedy trip to get your little one.
