Last minute running around

Just found out I get to venture to downtown Los Angeles to get a last minute document for court apostilled. Fun. I'm also trying to sneak in a trip to the dentist to get a tooth filled as I had an old filling fall out last week. I certainly don't need some throbbing toothache while in Russia. We just got our Marriott room booked for trip 3. I've got my gifts together that we'll be giving to our agency this trip. I've decided to give our agency their gifts this trip, and the baby home their gifts next trip, just to divide up the stuff so we can pack less. I'm making notes to take with me to court and trying to go over things. I'll admit I'm very nervous about court. I got 2 new books for the trip, but I may still decide to re-read Twilight again. I need something good to pass the time while sitting in a Russian medical clinic.

So 3 days more until lift off.......and probably 8 more days until our little miss is in our arms again. Amazing.

I check everyday for updates from you. Keep em coming! I am sooo excited for you.

Our court was like 10 minutes long. It was short and sweet. Know the post placement due times just in case she asks.
