BIG WEEKEND....
The movers came, and the head one has the nick name of Papa Smurf... And yes this name fit him completely.
The other mover was great to WATCH!!! You know what I mean!

They along with a few family members loaded and unloaded the truck at the new house....
We put up alot of the furniture, including a big girl toddler bed for Angelena... She don't like the crib, and has been used to sleeping in Momma's big bed, so what the heck... Well, needless to say... She LOVES the Toddler bed, but don't want to sleep in it... This is something we need to work on...
Our first night in our new house, was just Grandma, Angelena and ME... Then about 7:30pm on the second night... We had Angelena's cousins come and stay the night... 3 of them... HEHE...

Granted the house if full of boxes, the garage is packed to its seams, we still have our family around us. It was kind of sad to be leaving my sisters house, but it was good to be able to see all our stuff come out of storage.
Now, here is some ironic things that happened this weekend...
I walked into the house to shut off lights and lock up to go get some food for the house, and when I opened the door, Angelena's glider as rocking... I didn't say anything to anyone, and just giggled to myself... Then, of the um teen hundred boxes that weren't marked, the 2 main boxes that I really wanted to find; my 1 box that had my iPod and alarm clock, and Angelena's 1 box that had the 2 1/2 cases of diapers, wipes, socks and her favorite blankie that has been in storage for 5 months. Well, lets just say... these 2 boxes were in the correct rooms... Mine was in my room, and Angelena's was in her room... It was as if someone knew that I really needed these two boxes...
All weekend it felt weird. Cindy, my sister in law, would ALWAYS come and help us when ever we needed help. She was there when mom had surgry in TX, when we moved, when Angelena came home, Angelena's birthday, she came and helped us pack to go back to CA... Well, this time, with the move, I kept wanting to grab the phone and call her for help... A lot of the boxes were marked Storage, with Cindy's writting on it. It was so odd to see her writing, and now, I don't want to get any of the boxes... Well, right before I went to sleep last night, it dawned on me... Now that Cindy is in heaven watching over us... She is; 1 Laughing at us cause she didn't have to help... and 2 She made sure those 2 boxes were put where we needed them... I said, out load... Thank you Cindy, and I miss you so much... And I started to cry... and fell asleep. Last night was the first time I actually have come to realization, Cindy is no longer with us... I have been in denial...
Then I get to work this morning and get this amazing email.....
**We hope the necessary document will be in hand on Tuesday. I will let you know when the case is back in PGN. I will see and video her child on my December trip***

**I have no doubt that Ellie's case will be completed.. it wont’ be done by Dec 31 but this child will come home***
Thank you OLGA!!!! WE LUV U MAN!

I loved your story about your loved one in Heaven. My sister died a few years ago, and I have often thought she had a hand in our adoption so far. Your kids are beautiful!
