sharing some long over due pics
Well, many times I have said that I would get pictures of Malea up here. And I finally did. I had to do it like this since i can't get pics on here for some reason.
We have had Malea home since Feb 2007. At 7 months old. She is going to be 2 years old on July 3rd. I can't believe it!!! So for you old timers who remember me... here is our little princess!!!!!!  http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=1AbtmLZw2ZsWPM

It's hard to believe we are considered old-timers with our little nearly-two year olds.
 I LOVED the pictures! She looks wonderful.

Michele, of course I remember you and I am glad to see your updates! I was adopting my second daughter, Magdalena, at the same time you were going through the process. I guess that makes me an old old old timer since I was part of the 2003-2004 crowd when I was adopting Isabella. Still glad to be here! I hope to see more updates from you!
