A surprise gift from Hannah!

I was very surprised this morning when I read another couple's blog (they are adopting through our agency and are currently in Karaganda bonding with their son Tristan) and they asked for my email address! They had seen Hannah and have sent us pictures! They said she is doing fine! Little does she know that her life is about to be turned upside down in a few days! (p.s. she is 9 months old today!)

I also found out today that 2 of the other families (moms only) will be on my same flight coming and going to Almaty. I knew they would be there at the same time but am so happy that they are on our flight because I now have people I trust to pass Hannah to when I have to go to the bathroom. : )

Finally, her room is finished!! The pictures are hard to take because it is such a small room but I gave it a try....

Notice the orange changing pad cover. Joe had to get it for the WK (Wereld Kampioenschap - World Cup). Go Holland! (p.s. Oma - remember to bring "orange" when visiting). The map we got in KZ as well as a few of the other decorations.

The only thing is missing is her!
