We may or may not ever be able to make an announcement that "we're pregnant"...but we have come to understand that the blessing is the fact that however parenthood happens, it is a miracle! ....... Now we have been home with our precious blessing from Russia since August 2007. Join us on our fun and crazy ride that we call "life with this child of mine."

Week 2
So for those of you who are nosey (you know who you are! :), I am now working for this agency and today was the first day of my second week. Right now, thanks to the hospitality of my future-brother-in-law's parents, we have a place to stay till we can firm up our own living arrangements.  And so far everything is working out really well. 

Around the middle of the afternoon on Friday, a little old man came to my new office.  Guess what he was delivering...

From none other than my better half!

And I thought you might like to see a picture of my new digs.  


It still has a little way to go, because I have pictures that are on order for the walls.  But till then...I think it's pretty homey!

And on that note, I must go to bed.  I will try my hardest to get some pictures of the little boy to post for you to see.  He's getting cuter every day (is that even possible?!) and it seems like each day brings a new word or phrase...or just better enunciation.  He had a great day at school today...a difficult drop off, but they said that his tears didn't last long.  I really like the fact that they are being incredibly sensitive to him and his feelings/uncertainty.  It makes me feel better about leaving him in the mornings, even with a few tears.

Alright.  I really am going to bed.  Hang in there with me, I feel some sort of earth shattering post coming soon!  Ha, okay, maybe not...but I just want you to not leave me while I'm not posting a lot! :)

Goodnight!

Love the new office. Glad you are enjoying your job and Iliya is doing well at daycare. And, most children usually settle down within 5 minutes of being dropped off by parents. I see this at nursery at church. I think it is more for your benefit than their feelings being truly hurt. I, like you, would still be worried as I take transitions hard too.

Glad you are doing well and look forward to more photos soon.

Well I want lie to you, I am one of the nosey people that was wondering where you moved to. I was hoping it was closer to your mother and dad or the whole family. I was hoping you all were going to Huntsville maybe.

I wrote Nathan's Aunt Nancy to ask today and I looked on your blog and found out finally. Well Aunt Nancy doesn't have to revile to me now and spill the beans.

I lived in Montgomery for nine year's. It's pretty nice. Hope you find a nice area to move to and you will like it. I have many friends still in Montgomery. Good luck to you and Nathan and of course the "little man". Things will be good. Just keep the faith as I know you will.

Welcome to the River Region! Moving was very hard for Dawn when we moved to Prattville. I grew up moving a good bit because my dad was in retail. Dawn on the other hand had lived in the same place her whole life.

We would love to get together with you and Nathan when things slow down. I know that may be a while, but just drop us an e-mail note. Good luck with your new job! God Bless -

So glad things are going well with your new job and Iliya's new school. Praise the Lord! I am very disappointed that your move was South instead of North.... Looks like your job would not be available in this neck of the woods, though. At least there is still your blog to keep up with you all. I will be praying about all of the facets of your housing situation.
Blessings,

okay, I get busy with life for one week and I miss ALL of this!!! wow! you didn't call to ask if you could make all these life changes :)!

seriously...I love to see God moving and changing lives. I think that we (all of us) get to comfy where we are and resist change. And when we resist change, we don't allow God to be fully in charge of our lives and what HE wants us to be doing, for His Kingdom.

I'll be praying for all of your transitions! I'll be living vicariously through your changes, since we have not seen any changes around here.
