COURT DATE!!!!!!!

August 14th! We are so excited. The bad news is that I will be missing my entire prep week of school, but I guess that is better than the first week of school. We don't know all the details yet, like when we will be arriving and hopefully returning, but I will keep everyone posted when I do find out.

New Room! It's Pink!!!! (the girls' favorite)

Doug still needs to hang the three white shadow boxes which go on the purple squares and then Hallie will have her own space for special items as well.

A few things on the shelves are Hallie's and will be moved as soon as Hallie's shadow boxes are up on the wall. The idea is that they each will have their own space for their special items. Nadya will be picking out a few things while we are in Russia for her shelves.



This is the "Reading Nook," Hallie helped make the pillows. We found the fabric at walmart for a steal! It is extremely cute. I even find the boys hanging out in there!

So, they will share a room until they are brave enough to move downstairs. Not too bad though, atleast they get their own closet!

Here is a close up of the pillows..................

Frustrated!

Well, we still wait..... We have been told for the past month that we will get a court date any day now! It is frustrating, to say the least. In the meantime, we finished the girls' bedroom. I will post a picture soon. It is bright pink with one pink, purple, blue, and white stripped wall. It is complete with a princess reading nook in the corner. Hallie helped make the pillows for the reading nook, and really enjoys it. Hopefully she will use it for reading. She just loves her room and my favorite quote from her this week is, "I just want to sit in my room all day long!" We also bought Nadya a day bed with a trundle. Hallie already had a day bed and the two day beds are on opposite walls, but face eachother. When they have friends sleep over they can raise the trundle and the three twin beds turn into one gigantic bed. Hallie can't wait for a sleep over. I'll post pics soon. I just got a new lap top and I need to find the cords for my camera.
