The dossier has been compiled, apostilled, mailed off to EE, and submitted. We can do nothing but wait and get a travel date. Except…….make packing lists, create schedules for the kids and their caretakers while we’re gone, clean and organize the house, try to raise more money for adoption expenses, and oh yeah, finish the girls’ room (the girls’ room, eeeeeee!!!)!
Here’s what part of it looks like right now:
M picked out the colors, and we had a heckuva time finding the comforters that would suit! We still have more organizing to do, shelf hanging, setting out decorative items, stuff like that. But the walls are painted, bunkbeds assembled and made, and rug unrolled. M is estatic, to say the least and I will add more pics later this evening.
Oh, and to explain about the bed. D is 2 1/2. I had no easy time deciding about crib vs. bed. We finally decided to go with the bunk beds because of space considerations, with the addition of a study bed rail along the outside edge that we will put into place closer to coming home time. It was a difficult choice and we may end up using the pack n play for awhile but we’re open to changing our minds at any time. I am happy the girls will be sharing because I’m sure D will be used to sharing a room. I hope she likes it! If it were up to me, the room would be pink toile with white :). But even I think it turned out really pretty!
Hope your travel date comes soon! Love the colors of the room! :-)
ReplyDeleteD will love the room. Think how beautiful it will be to her, and such a comfort to have her big sister to keep her company and make her feel safe through the night. She is one blessed little girl.
ReplyDeletePraying you travel date comes quickly!!!
