The Lucky Pink Shirt



Earlier this week we received an adorable t-shirt from Shannon and Alexa. How sweet is that? Even though the card said "Saskia", we couldn't wait so Luca opened the package. He immediately observed that it wouldn't fit him :), but he believes that it will look good on "Saskia."

It seems this shirt has brought a bit of good news with it . . . WE HAVE OUR TRAVEL DATES! We should be headed to Kazakhstan at the end of August! It is hard to believe. No LOI yet, but we have dates . . . we have DATES!

You can be sure the lucky shirt will be going with us! Have shirt, will travel.

Luca looks so big!!! He is really a sweetie pie!

YAY! got dates~!
We got our date today too...we had the LOI, we had the visa, but no date to meet the kiddo...
August 5th is our day...and there are 3 other families from our agency going to be there at the same time, so that is kinda fun. :)

YIKES!!!
i NEED A LUCKY SHIRT!

No one is telling me if Baby Kaz is a boy Baby Kaz or a boy Baby Kaz...so Saskia may get a bunch of girl clothes from our Baby Kaz is our baby Kaz is a brother. :)

Finally, travel dates. You must be tickled pink (sorry, really bad pun)--I'm very happy for you. It seems like a lot of families are getting their travel dates.


Can't wait to follow along as you go "seeking Saskia."

Wow, I am so thrilled for you! Just sitting here staring off in the distance and thinking of you and all the joy coming your way, and I can't help but feel very heart-warmed.

Of course I do wish the end of August would be here tomorrow though! (For only you though, not me- heaven help me!) :-)

I can't wait to see the shirt on "Saskia." Oh, who am I kidding- I can't wait to see "Saskia" in ANYTHING!!! :-)

My, Luca has grown up recently. What a handsome guy!

I am so happy for you and a little jealous! I would love to have an idea of when I will be traveling. If you need any packing lists, let me know I have about 10! Now if I could only bring 10 suitcases I could actually bring all the things I have on my lists.
