Well, the weathermen were finally correct about how much snow we were going to get hit with...it started later in the day on Saturday, but by the time we woke up Sunday morning, we had 10 inches on the ground and no power. So, we started shoveling our huge driveway...

Then, our neighbors invited us in for breakfast and then Andrew helped them shovel their driveway while I played with their kids in the snow. Andrew, the good samaritan, then went and helped 3 other older neighbors shovel their driveways & sidewalks. He was so tired when he came in...we both were. We didn't do much the rest of the day but relax, nap, read and watch movies.

On Sunday, we went to the FRUA-DC "waiting parents" meeting. We met a few other couples who were adopting from Russia, the Ukraine, etc. Some were in the same place we were with the waiting, others had just started the process and some were about to travel. It helped to talk to others about their experiences.

Its now Monday and, of course, their has been no news on our referral except that our coordinator really things we will be back in the U.S. with our baby before our fingerprints expire on May 5th. Hmm....

Our niece is here now for a sleepover...on a "school night". She is four and stayed over so we could sled with her friends across the street. Fun times :)
