Winter is Here!

We got our first decent snow storm yesterday. We got about 3" down here in the valley, and the ski resorts received over 7". It finally feels like Christmas Season. We bought our tickets to go back to Wisconsin for Christmas, and will spend the holidays there. This past week, several agencies received their accreditation from Russia, and we thought ours would be in that batch. That did not happen, however there is still hope that they will be accredited this week (which means referrals will happen quicker). We are keeping our fingers crossed. Even with accreditation, our agency has informed us that no visits to Russia will take place between Dec 20 - Jan 15 due to the holidays. So, it looks like 2008 will be the year for our family to grow.

Wow - Snow!! We had all rain here. Sounds like you have a busy holiday season plan and hopefully that will make the wait go by faster. We were also hoping for accreditation. SO for now we'll just keep our fingers crossed.

Heidi - Would you mind shooting me an email so I can have your email address and we can keep in touch outside of the blogs. I thought it might be fun to exchange info about Vlad and such - You can access my email through my blog under our photo.

I got your comment on our blog this morning and it would be great if we travel a the same time - It will be nice to have others to talk to while there in the same situation!!

Take care- Rachel
