Hosting plans for 2009!

We’re hosting a second child! Instead of just bringing Alona over this summer, we’re also hosting a second little girl named Eleonora. She is currently 12 but will turn 13 the day before she arrives. We’re so excited to meet her.

My family and I got innovative- with some painting, curtains, pictures, etc. we are slowly turning a corner downstairs into L’s room. A "corner" doesn't do the room any justice, it actually looks pretty good! Alona has a room upstairs that my mom usually uses as her playroom for daycare.

We have been busy shopping for the girls and getting everything ready. My mom and I love shopping, especially the sales racks. So that has been a lot of fun.

On a different note, school is a nightmare this quarter! To say the least, I am extremely busy and will continue to be until the end of the quarter. I’m counting down the days until I graduate… 42 days! Which means there’s only 50 days until our little girls arrive!

I’m also working on a PowerPoint presentation to talk about at the Global Family Alliance (the organization we host through) orientation meeting. I've been gathering a lot of information, both through the internet and other families who've traveled to Ukraine. Whenever I'm working on any projects, I love to get firsthand information. The credibility of the source is so valuable- there's clearly no better source than the good people who are helping the lives of orphans. Thanks to anyone who contributed.

Better get back to my financial statements.
