Since it's football Sunday and I'm a Wisconsin native, I thought I would say a special "hi" to my Milwaukee Wisconsin reader! Do I know you? Please don't be shy... this is my first attempt to delurk my few yet dedicated readers.

We've been hosting my grandfather and cousin Eric this week. They were out here because Gpa had a navy reunion up in LA. We've been eating well, checking out the beaches like tourists and went on a tour of the Midw*y. Fun times! They headed back to Indiana this morning at 4AM.

Today I am completing my adoption paperwork calendar and will start sending out my forms to references, birth certificate requests, etc. I'm also going to a bead jewelry making party, hosted by a mom-to-be (girl from Kaz). We met on the Russian Adoption Yahoo board about a month ago and are using the same agency. Her and her husband are great. We are even thinking about going to the Mosc*w Cats Theatre together when they are in San Diego in November...
