So here's a little peek at what Pala's room is like. We still have to find a bedroom set such as a dresser and headboard/footboard set because as you know the original set won't fit up the stairs. Boohoo... I really liked it! But we are still using the crib until she decides she wants to be in the twin. So, her crib is ready to go, her clothes are in the closet and boxes for now, and the comforter set for the twin bed is ordered. Yes, I finally found it!! It should be here next week and then I can finish up her room. The crib set is Lambs & Ivy Vintage Baby... a dear friend gave it to us when we first started our journey to Pala. The letters are traced and cut out of scrapbooking paper, then I taped sheer ribbon to the back, and then stuck the bow to the wall with a glue dot. I know, a glue dot? I promised not to put any holes in the walls so I improvised! AND... if Pala pulls on them it won't hurt anything. They were so cute when Amy did them for Simeon's room that I couldn't just put the white wooden letters uplike I had originally planned!
Our VISAs are here, so now we are waiting on our ICPC and Pala's passport. The passport office is closed for Durga Puja so that bides me a little time to get things finished up. I plan to have everything done by October 1st so that I'm ready to go whenever our caseworker calls. If she calls before I'm done then I guess the rest will have to wait...

Cute, cute, cute! What a welcoming room. Please tell me you're going to blog on your trip . . . It's getting so close now!

Room looks awesome! You'll have to post an 'after' pic of her in the crib!
Hope you do get that call early (even if it means leaving midstream!) and are off on your way very soon!
The room looks great! Recognize a few of our favorite books in the crib. Hope we get the call sooner than expected and that we get to meet over there!

Maggie,
How exciting! I love the rose print on the bedding! Pala is going to look so cute sitting in the crib. I bet she will love how comfy it is.
Congrat's on traveling soon. I am getting there too. I am hoping another family will travel at the same time. Maybe? never know.
I was hoping to chat with you before you travel. If you have time could you email me?!
