Winter Wonderland
Yesterday marked 11 months since Natalie came home. We are in the process of completing the second of four post placement reports due to Russia. Her next one will be due a year from now. It is hard to imagine what she will be in like in another year. Last week I registered Natalie for kindergarten. Though I am looking forward to not having to pay day care costs, I do feel a bit sad that my "baby" is starting the "Big Girl" school. She is so excited. A brand new school is scheduled to open for the fall and technically she is to go to that school. But the way (I have learned all of this recently) the system is set up, we can request any school in the zone. We are only guaranteed the school in our district. I have requested a school in our zone and am praying that Natalie will be able to go there for a lot of different reasons. The most important one is that the school has an excellent reputation.
Yesterday we also had 5 inches of snow. I know so many people are tired of the snow, but it was a great treat for us. We built a snowman and played in the snow for awhile. Unfortunately the snowman lost his head today due to the bright sunny day we had.

Love the pictures of Natalie in the snow. Looks like she had a grand time.
funny, funny - the snow man lost his head - glad you aren't losing yours with all your busy days!

Hard to believe you had the same temps there that you had in south central Siberia a year ago, isn't it? Oh- wait- you didn't have that much snow last year, did you... hehe. Can you believe it has been a year? So many changes-
So glad our paths crossed and we were there together to pray with each other and spread the love of God in such a tangible way in each other's lives- so long ago- in our world before our children....
Blessings to you!!!
