Random Thoughts
Just a few random thoughts from this weekend so far:
- The birth family searchers we hired arrived in Murmansk on Friday. In fact, they may be searching for our kids' Russian Mama and Papa right now. Maybe even talking to their Russian Mama and finding out what her life is like and if she ever wonders what happened to the two amazing children she gave birth to. Unfortunately, since her parental rights were terminated by the courts, and we have no last know address for her, I've been told that there is only a 50% chance that the search will be successful. Hopefully, if they cannot find the birth parents, they will be able to find the kids' maternal great-grandmother. She seemed to be the only one who took an interest in them anyway, and I think she would like to know that they are safe and well-loved in their forever family.
- Vika lost her first tooth (well first tooth that wasn't extracted) and is now obsessed with staring at herself in the mirror and poking her tongue through the hole. She's convinced that she is much prettier with the little gap at the front of her bottom row of teeth, and spends way too much time posing and preening in the bathroom. She's 6 going on 16, that one.
- Last night I went out with a few of my girlfriends to see the movie "Juno" (which was EXCELLENT, by the way. I highly recommend it.). Afterwards we went to Starbucks and closed the place down chatting about anything and everything. Three of the four of us are mothers, and I think it was just so wonderful to have uninterrupted conversation that we took complete advantage of the time we had. BTW, please send positive thoughts to friend #3, who is currently riding her own trying-to-get-pregnant roller coaster, and naturally, is surrounded by pregnant women at every turn. Why does it always seem to happen that way?
- Finally, I'm excited to get to work on my PIF projects. We've got two Law & Order's TiVo'd so I think I'll brew myself a green tea and head downstairs to watch TV and knit (I like to live dangerously).
you must be on pins and needles to find out if the search was successful. mine keeps getting pushed back. I hope you have good luck
BIG news about the search! I can't wait to hear what happens.
(word verif says, "pack to". hmm..pack to go where? pack two of what?)
It is nice to have a girl's night out once in a while. :)
Good luck on the search.
I love The 'Bucks. Yum!
I really want to see Juno. I've heard nothing but wonderful things about that movie.
Everyone needs a night out once in a while. ;-)
Wow, that is so cool about the search. Best of luck with that! Hope you find some wonderful information.
hugs,

I just wanted to let you know that I added you to my blogroll. Hope it's okay. :)
