Well, today I am taking after my Mom. She is the most impatient person I know. She absolutely hates to wait for anything. I am right there with her today! On Monday, we were asked when we would like to preview, and we gave them our proposed dates. We still haven't heard back. It is driving me crazy!!! I want to make travel arrangements, but more than anything, I want to know the exact day I will see Andres. This waiting is so much harder when the days draw close.
I did find something to distract me a little. From watching our wonderful video, I know that Andres LOVES to play ball. This afternoon I found a pattern for a knitted ball.:) I had lots of bright-colored, soft, cotton yarn in my yarn box, so I have a ball in the works. If you could only hear the way he says "ball" with his Estonian accent-so cute!! It would be much easier to run to WalMart and buy him a $2 Nerf ball, but this is much more fun and distracting. It feels great to know I can make something especially for him that he will enjoy.

Alice,
It took me a week to hear back ! When did you ask for ? I am leaving March 1st - March 6th. Won't be in Tallinn though.

I know the waiting is so hard..I will pray that you hear something soon! From experience with Andres, I think that a "soft sided" ball is a great idea... :)
Charlotte, Thanks for the info. Hopefully, they will say, "yes", tomorrow. We are hoping to go over school vacation, the 17-21. Between the kids' school schedules and after school activities, it would be very hard to cover a school week. During vacation, we just need someone to cook and supervise. Also, if we can't go then, Dan is busy until April.
Congrats on your excitement. I can not wait to hear you telling us how adorable he is!
