Another 24 notarized documents are on their way to Austin for apostilles. Thank goodness Texas enacted a $100 cap per adoption on apostilles in September. But all these Fed-Ex charges are adding up quickly!

Our updated medicals are finally all done (2 doctors-6 days-medicals for 3 people). You would think a person as educated as a doctor could read instructions and do this thing correctly. But lo and behold she signed her signature at the bottom of each column instead of at the top of each column. At least everything was done in blue ink this time - Phew. This was D's pediatrician who signed in the wrong spot, so I'm just not going to worry about it. It isn't as if D is adopting the child!!

After the documents travel to Austin, they'll be directly on their way to the agency in Dallas and will hopefully immediately hit the trail to Moscow.

I stared at those blasted things so long, just making sure, double sure, triple sure everything was correct! Then once I left the Fed-Ex place, I sat in the car just hoping everything was in order! You know after you've looked and looked at something, it starts blurring together and it's hard to focus and concentrate.

We're always in the Fed-ex place for a good 30 min - an hour. They know us there by now and are aghast that "that baby" is still not home! So are we Fed-Ex guy, so are we!

Till later . . .
