First things first, I noticed that my typing and grammar are way out in left field. In my defense, it's tough to type in a windowsill. I ask that you bare with me and ignore all errors. Please!!!!
We arrived home around 10pm last night. I figured that we lived the same day twice after crossing time zones. We awoke at 8am in Europe, which is about midnight at home. We arrived home at 10pm which is 6am in Europe. What a day of travel. We flew home SAS. I would highly recommend them to anyone traveling overseas. They have good leg room overall and great service. We tried to upgrade at the airport. Luckily we were unable to. I actually preferred the economy seats.
While we were at the airport, we met a French family who had been working with our attorney in Latvia. They adopted young sisters. We had actually traveled to their orphange the day before. I thought that was a nice send off from Latvia. It's the little things. The weather was very nice bot at home and in Latvia. Which mattered not to us, as we missed it in both locations. Boo. We woke today to overcast skies. I would feel like we never left Latvia had it not been for the dirty house awaiting me at home.
Today we are spending the day with Carson and playing whatever he wishes. So, it looks like I'm getting ready to go play with the fort we built. Carson and I like to play "guys" aka, battle with medieval knights.
I am anxious to get my photos downloaded and share them with you all. Also, we are on a time limit to decide about Dina's name. So, tomorrow, that will be the agenda (along with house cleaning). Dina would not have been our first choice in names. While I can't imagine not calling her Dina at this point... I think it best to at least explore our options before making it final. We know her middle name will be Dee, after my sister and my dad. Brent thought it was really funny to say for a nickname we could call her "Double D" if we leave her name Dina. He's always thinking! Then we thought of Nina... but thoughts of nicknmaes lead us to "ne-de" Oh, how much time we have had to think. Way too much!!! No need to worry. Actually, the final decision will be made after I talk to my buddy (a psychologist) about her opinion on renaming children at age 3 almost 4. I keep getting mixed answers from my other rersources.
Well, I am happy to be home and happy to be back with my baby boy. I will still post once in awhile to keep everyone updated on the progress of the next steps. Also on the name issue.
Hugs and happiness,Lisa

I never had the chance to name a girl. I gave it five (count them 5) shots, but it never happened. I love the name Dina Dee. I also love the name Nina Dee. Mary Ruth, Iris, and Olivia are all names that I will have to bestow on dogs, cats, chickens, and goats unless you wanted one of them. ha ha! Actually, Olivia Dee sounds pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love you Lisa and I am so proud of you. I can't wait to meet my niece and (more importantly) for her cousins to meet her. I know that she and Nash will be super close.
I like the name Nadja too. ha ha!
Okay, Matt and I have talked it over and we both agree that we think that "Dina" is the best name that she could have for a thousand reasons.
ReplyDeleteMy reason? It rhymes with "Donna".
