SIX DAYS

...until we are holding our sweet girl in our arms again.  Oh my heavens,  it's unbelievable.

I don't have much time to write because it is CRAZY busy right now with a big birthday party to host tonight and a bunch of other stuff between now and Tuesday night when we leave, but for fun, I'll post a copy of the card I made for the nannies who take care of Anya. We're required to bring gifts for the 8 nannies and the 4 orphanage officials. 

I got each of the nannies a pair of nice warm Isotoner gloves and little heart-shaped box of chocolates. In English, the card says,

Thank you for all that you have done with your hands and your hearts for Anya.

We know that she has been loved. 

Kind Regards,

 Jeremy and Heather Fillmore

Since there's a small chance the judge could waive the 10-day waiting period, in which case we would stay there this trip and finish the process to bring Anya home, we have to bring *everything* with us. The gifts, Anya's clothes and everything we'll need to keep her entertained. It's crazy trying to think of everything!

We're getting so excited! I feel like I might explode with stress, but I'm not complainin'  :)  We're almost there!
