Happy Birthday Rigdon!

Tomorrow, June 21st is Rigdon's (aka Maxim) first birthday. It is hard to believe that our baby will spend his first birthday in the orphanage. I won't even begin to describe how that feels. On a happy note...it is a Birthday...and we wish Rigdon a Happy One.

Though we only know of you through photos and bits of communication through the adoption agencies...you are already OURS Rigdon. We LOVE you Little Guy and we will have you home to celebrate so many, many more special events...that even this day will be but a very distant memory. Your Mommy, Daddy and Big Sister McKenna xxx ooo

Dossier Complete and On It's Way to Russia!

Finally after 7 months of forms, interviews, evaluations, fingerprinting, etc. the Dossier is complete. McKenna was as happy as I to finally send off the documents that have so consumed us. Here she poses with the Fed-ex employee whom she told, "We are finally ordering my brother today!"
"Last chance Mom...are you sure you want to do this?" Really, McKenna's only comment prior to going into Fed-ex was, "Do they sell candy in here?"
What in the world do we do with this thing called a dining room table now?
