back from moscow

I'm back! I had a nice but exhausting trip to Moscow to see friends who have adopted baby number three. The doctor who (prophetically) told them that their daughter was strong-willed and their first son would be a heartbreaker told them that little E. should be taken straight to Hollywood. He is CUTE! (Well, E is--I didn't see the doctor...)

Not much to say right now. No news. And, I struggle as I always do with how much I want to share...Suffice to say that while there is no news about my homestudy or the need or a homevisit or accreditation , I am feeling very secure and very at peace about my tumultuous journey. It will happen. And, while I do feel a little like I do when my take-a-number reads 52 and the number being served is 833...I am not anxious in the least. Strange, but what a blessing! (Peace that passes understanding?)

Hoping to visit another friend (S this is YOU!) and her family in Moscow this week, but not sure my travel permission will be granted in time. My visa has been extended for another year, but they forgot to re-register me. They need my passport for that. I need my passport to face the lines at the train station and buy a ticket. I need a ticket to state the dates for travel permission. So...not sure. But, hoping!

I guess that about sums things up--unsure but hopeful. ;>
