Stylin

We had to do a little shopping today for Nastya, Igor took us to a department store and oh what fun. Nastya got some fancy jeans, a pretty pink skirt, top with lots of sparkles, a pink jacket and pink hat ,scarf and also a pink stroller to transport Mocha her kitty around in.
We also made a trip to the post office and there are pictures on route to Yarmouth and Oakville, they could be a long time getting there. It is illegal for us to post pictures of her until we have been to court so I guess thats all we can do for now.
The weather has cooled off here also and it is snowing out now. We walked down to the cafe, It was slow moving as Nastya had to stop every 5 minutes to shake the snow off Mocha. She is playing the barbie site at the next computer. It has been a great weekend so far, her english is coming along and she has more hugs and kisses.

Comment: Jill so good to hear from you, there are so many beautiful children in her orphanage, you should have come along :)

Mike & Leonora-- We feel so bad that things didn't work out. I can't seem to get into email but when I get it figured out I will email you.

Hi Randy and Debbie,

My name is Candi and I left you a message the other day about following your journey because my husband and I are adopting. I was telling my Mom about you today and she has a message for you: "Hi Debbie and Randy, Good luck and God speed." From Kathie MacDonnell

Can't wait to meet her when you travel through to see Mitch - we'll have to have a beauty time. She sounds like a girly-girl - won't that be fun - wonder what kind of hairdo's she'll have for Randy? Yes the Mariners beat the Antigonish Bulldogs in OT last night - somehow we feel connected to our past by going to those games (we cheer for our new home though:). May I suggest that Nadya get to choose her own kitty when she gets home and then maybe she'd have a special feeling like you guys doing in adopting her.
We're all excited with the daily "Cook's column".
God is good!

Candace and Keith this request is for you. My husband and I would love to hear from you about your journey in the Ukraine when you adopted your daughter. We are in the process of our homestudy. We have also picked the Ukraine.

Any help you can give us would be appreciated. Our email address is craigandtracy@eastlink.ca

Hey - well Nadya will sure fit right in when you guys get back. The coffee here is still as great as always - those large double/doubles give me a good start to every day - (just had to throw that in for good measure Randy) It seems that you are having an awesome "adventure" and something that you will always remember. The one question I have is justhow many kittens are going to be dropped off on your doorstep when you do get home - and is it white or black? Maybe you should look for a good buy on kitty litter before you come home. Anyhow - reading your blog is one of the best parts of my day here at the store - besides spending "quality time with the girls here - you know the ones (Kim, Tara, Julie, Doreen) what can I say - they are in a league of their own, but a great bunch of girls. Oh and our Kim willbe getting married in August - imagine that - so much talk of that event going on in the store. Anyway - enough about us - Treasure these moments with your new daughter and all the many memories you are making there and those to come when you get home. Guess carrying all that milk around has kept you in shape for carrying Nadya - see everythinghappens for a reason. Take care - our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Shelley - and the rest of the girls from Tim's in Barrington and Shelburne.
