We have a crib!

Brandon and I bought our crib and baby furniture this past weekend. The furniture is on order, but we were able to buy a floor model of the crib so that we could get it now. We brought it home this weekend, and put it together last night. Bailey, our dog, tried to help as well. She was crawling under the bed and then flopped down. We're not sure if she was going to try to hold it up for us while we screwed it together, or if she was just providing moral support. We'll go with the latter, because she really provided no help except to gain attention.

After we got it together, we started putting our bedding on it to get a sense of what it looked like pulled together. It also helped us to narrow down some of our paint colors for the room. It's a bit scary that it is all coming together, but very exciting at the same time.

We hope that the bedding will go to good use very soon, as we are putting together all of the paperwork needed in order to get our court date set in Russia. We can't wait to go back not only to get our daughter, but also to take in the country a little more. We want to take in more of the country so that we can be good stewards to Alina about its history and the wonderful sights that can be seen there. We also look forward to seeing the people we've met again since they are as much a part of this process as we are.
