We aren't allowed to request updates from the orphanage very often, so when we do I am soooo anxious to get them! I was especially excited about this one because it was the first we've been able to request additional information about Jennifer. We have so little information about her (literally half of what we have about Abigail) and very few photos. I have been waiting an entire month for the orphanage to respond to this request.
Sadly there were NO photos of either of our girls, and the questions I asked about each of them got scrambled in translation or something. The reports obviously mixed the two of them up with one another in places, the questions weren't really addressed, AND there are just two short paragraphs about each girl. Yup, I'm whining a bit. This momma's heart longs for news about them!
About the only new thing they told me about Jennifer is that her favorite color is red! Not sure if that is accurate or not, but if it is she is for sure going to like her new home! If you have ever been here you know how much I love the color red; and it is all over the house.
This week I have been working on transforming the living room into a play room for the little princesses. Since neither of them are very steady on their feet, I just couldn't stand the thought of them having to go to the basement play room or upstairs to their bedroom to play. I have recently papered this room with some bold, red flower print so I think it will be a perfect, cheerful place to play. It is also on the main floor so I can keep them very close to me throughout the day.
This rearranging the of house is a slow process for sure, and it looks as though we have just moved in at this point. We are making progress however, so I'm hopeful to have a before and after photo to share here by the end of this week. My goal is to have all the rearranging and setting up done by the time we receive our LOA. We can send them photos at that time, and I want the photos that we send to them to accurately reflect what they will see when they arrive home.
Thank you SO much for putting up the button! The more that see the kiddos the better IMO. Maybe one more will someday be one less.
ReplyDeleteOh that waiting is just so so so hard. You're doing a great job keeping busy!
