Happy Friday! :)

Hi there!  Wow, another week gone by!  Why do the go SO fast?!!?  It's been a good one here...been busy with BC's school and just our daily outings to the park or bike cruise around the 'hood.  :)

Big news...we will officially RE-adopt Bear Cub next Thursday here in Florida!  Yay!  **sigh** Actually, it's quite a silly formality, considering he's been a US citizen since landing in the States back in Aug. 2007 AND he's had a social security card since September of that year.  So, why are we doing this?  Well, it will allow BC to have a US-issued birth certificate...it will still say Vladivostok...we would NEVER want to do away with that awesome truth, but he will now have the ability to easily access copies of his birth certificate.  Something you don't have to do very often in life, but still...the thought of trying to go through RUSSIA to get another copy of his current certificate seems like a daunting task.  We've been wanting to do this for a while and got started on the VERY easy process a few months ago.  So, next week, it will be official...AGAIN!  Ha!  Oh, the bureaucracy of it all. Don't you think he deserved that right of a State issued birth certificate as soon as he was a citizen?  Oh well.  It's almost done!  :)  I'll post pics after the court date.  Oh yes...BC is going with us.  Hmmmm...wonder what that will be like!?!?  Some serious bribes will be put into place!

Funny (and smart!) thing that was said tonight at dinner....

BC:  "Ssssssssssss"  S is for sun!
Me:   Yup!  That's right!  S is for sun!  Do you know how to spell sun?
BC:   No.
Me:  Well, it's S-U-N. Did you know that the sun is really a star?
BC:  Hm-mm...a star that is active during the day!

Very true!  :)

Gosh, I had another cute thing in mind to share, but it has totally left me right now.  If it comes back to me, I'll post again!  :)

Have a great weekend ahead!  No big plans here...maybe a trip to the zoo, which we all enjoy!   I'll get pics up soon!  Promise!
