Here comes 2007!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, we did. Can you believe there's only a few more days left in the year? It's almost 2007! I remember when we were going into the year 2000 like it was yesterday. Everyone was freaked out over Y2K. The funny thing is that our power went out right after midnight that year and we had friends over and Chris immediately was on his knees saying "Let's pray". It turned out that someone crashed into a pole in our neighborhood, hence the loss of power.=) As usual we have no grand plans for New Years. Chris is going to watch the Miami Hurricanes play in what I like to call the "Tidy" Bowl.=) We'll watch the "ball" drop on TV later and pray that our babies come home early this new year. It's so quiet right now in the adoption process. I haven't heard from our agency in about a month, probably because there's no news to report. I've heard about this "silent time" from other families that have been through the process. It kinda feels like it's all a dream and it's not really happening. Chris and I were talking at dinner the other night about how we think it would have been better if we had not gotten pictures of our children. There are other agencies that do not give families pictures of their children until they are in Russia getting ready to meet them. I think that would have been better in our case. It's so hard to look at their pictures these days. I want to hold them and hug them so badly. We're praying that we'll be there soon. Thank you everyone for your continued prayers and support, it means so much to us.
