6 months and counting!
Okay I'm told to continue to be patient. Nobody said I had to be happy about it.
Matthew is in Siberia learning to walk and probably climb out of his crib in hopes of escaping at this point. My only comfort is that he is being looked after decently, Natalia is checking in on him and he has his "girlfriend" Anna Grace to keep him company. She is a beauty and nearly 13 months old now! Good news is her Mommy and Daddy come to our neck of the woods a few times a year and the kids can now grow up together. They're probably in their cribs now plotting.
NON court date update:
We were told by our agency that on Friday 3/31 our rep in the region was going to see the judge for sure and get our court date. We received a measurement/medical update on 4/5 so we had hope. That week ended with no court date assigned. We have been told "any day now" since January. On Friday 4/7 we were told we had a tentative court date of April 26th. My excitement was short lived. I know that this judge hears adoption cases on Tuesdays and Thursday. April 26th is a Wednesday. I queried our case manager exactly what is meant by tentative? She said it's the date the rep "thinks" the judge will set the date so he must have a much newer crystal ball that I do. By this past Wednesday 4/12 our agency wasn't even returning emails so another full week has gone by. Matthew turns 17 months old this Monday 4/17. I can't wait for the next round of empty promises that should keep us going another month.
On a happier note, I did finally complete my project of capturing still pictures from the video we shot. Once I can remember how to post the pics on here I will do so. I have to download some program (this is from my new computer).
Well this week I'm going to unpack and repack Matthews baby bag for the 3rd time.
He is now 28 1/2 inches and 20.9 pounds so time for 12 month outfits. God only knows what the weather will be. Oh that's right, in July it's hot everywhere!!!
A very special THANK YOU to CT! You are the life preserver that God has chosen to throw out to me. Without you I would have surely drowned by now. Can't wait for us to raise our babies together!

Debi-
If I am your lifepreserver, we are soooo out of luck; I thought you were saving me!
It is a great comfort to know that our babies are together now and will continue to know each other once home.
