Before we left Russia I set up a facebook account for her and showed her how she could leave messages for us. So glad I did! She loves to look through my photos on facebook, and it's easier for her to feel connected to us with facebook rather than simply email. She even posted on my mom's wall!
I know she doesn't find internet access often, but I'm so grateful that she took the time to write me when she could!
OK, back to adoption paperwork:) Nastia is in Florida with my entire extended family for Christmas. We'll have our own little Christmas when she gets back in a week.
Happy 'Day before the Night before Christmas' Everyone!
PS: If you know that song, then you are dating yourself! The only people I have ever met who know that song are a select few born in the 60s or early 70s!
Wonderful!

So wonderful that you have heard from Anya :D
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Christmas and good luck with the adoption. I know this year has had some ups and downs for you and I hope next year brings you joy. You are such an inspiring person and even if I only ever know you in 'blog-land' I am richer for knowing you.

Pretty picture of Anya - so glad that you can correspond. Hope 2011 brings you joy and happiness - you deserve it! I had not heard of the song you mentioned, but have made a video Christmas card with one of my favorite Christmas songs.
