The final step!

Hi everyone! We recieved an email last Friday saying that our dossier is on its way to Kaz for the final step of the process! It should arrive within a week or so, and then once it gets there it'll have to go through four different ministries (kinda like our governmental offices) and then we'll recieve an invitation to travel! Our coordinator is thinking that we will probably recieve that invite around the first of the year. We are so excited. In a way the time has flowen since we started this last Feb, but in other ways it cannot go nearly fast enough. ;-)

Jon and I went and register for a few things at Baby's R Us on Sat. You know, the gender/age neutral things we know we'll need like Winnie the Pooh decorations ;-) and rocking chairs and sippy cups and bottles and things like that. We didn't realize how much we're gonna have to wait to get until we know the age of our baby. It's going to be a frantic 2 weeks in between trips. We're gonna have to get so much so quickly. Oh well, God will help us through. And, it was really fun registering. I thourghly enjoyed going around and looking and the super cute baby stuff they have out. And all of the Pooh stuff! It is SO adorable! Pooh must be in right now, cause they have EVERYTHING. We even saw a Pooh humidifier. ;-) How cute is that? Anyway, we really appreciate your prayers through all of this. It's been very trying but at the same time a complete blessing. Thank you all so much!

Love,
Jon and Kristin
