Alexis Is Ours Tomorrow




At the close of the working day tomorrow, our court decree becomes official and Alexis becomes a Haag.



We're busily making arrangements for the next week in anticipation of being on a plane next Thursday. It seems we have a few snags concerning Alexis' Ukrainian passport with which we'll have to deal. But we're not going to let anything stand in our way!


Pam got well and we both enjoyed spending the day with Alexis today, which incidentally is her birthday. You know how it is, when they are young you celebrate their birthday every month. Today, Alexis was 17 months old. Next thing we'll know she'll be going to college, winning the lottery, joining a bowling league, or something else really exciting.





Pam's Mom and Dad (Al and Fern) drove to Colorado (from Minnesota) late last week and are now watching Darian and Trevor, giving Stephen's parents a much needed break. So, we'll have the whole family there to greet Alexis next week.






We sure do miss Darian and Trevor. We've never been away from them for this long of a period of time. It's made us both realize how much we rely on our dhildren for happiness, inspiration, and the occassional goofy smile. We're coming home soon, boys.





Alexis sends her love.

Hi Pam, Steve and Alexis,
I hope that by the time this is posted, the waiting is over and Alexis will have officially joined your family, although it I am sure she is already a permanent fixture in your hearts. Watching the pictures over the last few weeks, the joy in her smiles keeps growing and she looks very happy. We can not wait to meet her in person. Have a safe trip home!!!
