Ever since that phone call from Liana, at 11:30am on 5th Feb, we have been high on emotions. Decisions, fears, decisions, fears being calmed down by facts and discussions with Doctors, excitement, sharing our thoughts and decision with close family and a few friends. Gazing a 1000 times at the pic of 'Rasgollu'. :) Rasgulla is a cold, delicious, soft juicy sweet that we Indians eat (and that i LOVE!). And 'gollu' is an endearing term used for anyone who is a lil chubby-in a cute way. We LOVE chubby cheeks, I had them when I was a little baby, i would pull my darling niece's cheeks for the same reason. They are like little rasgullas! :) So, Lil Rasgollu is highly awaited!
I have already made a round to the nearby Carter's/OshKosh store to try and find cool boy clothes since my closet is full of clothes we got from my sisters Hanu and Preet (who have the most beautiful daughters IMO and Im crazy about my nieces) and my friend Rohini (whose daughter is like a pretty lil angel that I absolutely adore!)
So, Im in a bit of a panic as far as dressing him up in 'diff' cool clothes that will make him smart and hip. I know. I know. I am so bad! That is so wrong! :)
But apart from all that silly stuff, our acceptance letter is needed in original by the ministry they insist. They refuse to accept the ones sent by email and are scanned copies. So, off to the Purolator office it was for poor Deepak last evening in -30C weather. Cant get over how awesome it is that Dee can read, speak and write in Russian!
And the other couple K&J have also accepted their referral so we will be there at the same time! So, both our letters will be couriered today to Astana and once the ministry gets it next week they should give Tanya the paperwork required to apply for a visa here. So shooting for early March to be in Kaz!
Great news, I'm so excited for you!
