    Thanks, folks.

    Sheesh, I was just thinking about posting a little thread with the news, but Uncle Tim seems to have beat me to it!

    Man, I've been bouncing off the walls all day long. That conference call for work I had to be on at noon through about 2pm was murder...it involved a customer, so I couldn't bag it and it was really, really, really hard to stay focused! (but to my woodworking competitors...I did manage to do a good job...hee hee)

    We both have been completely stressed out for the past few weeks waiting for this court date and originally thought we might hear something last week. It was not to happen and the weekend was...well...you know. Then this morning, I was reading a very sad email that Alison (Dr. SWMBO) forwarded to me from another couple that just lost their two intended adoptive kids to a Russian family (my regular nightmare in the past few months) when the phone rang. It was our social worker at the agency with the good news. Talk about tears of sadness mixed with tears of joy...wow. That was at about 11:15a this morning and it wasn't until about 2:30p that I was able to sit still for more than three minutes at a time. Almost.

    I am not a religious person and never have been, but that's not to say that I am lacking in spirituality. Today was one of "those moments"...

    So...Siberia in late November (burrr...) and Thanksgiving in Moscow this year!! I may have to get one of those kewel fur hats, too...

    Oh, I have a complete web site already built with about a hundred pictures of the girls that I will "turn on" once court is completed...that should satisfy the whole "picture patrol" in one fell-swoop!

    BTW, folks...Alison is going to beat you if you keep putting that extra "L" in her name... LOL!
