Introducing Jackson Charles... we are home!!

...and mostly unjet-lagged. The trip went really well.. unless of course you count the time we ended up in St. Petersburg instead of Moscow... but that's another story in itself!

Jackson is a wonderful little guy. He's one and walking pretty darn well. He's settled out with two naps a day and sleeping through the night (praise the Lord!! )

I will do my best to post the story of trip two, since it was as full of suprise and intrigue as the first was. But all you new Mommies understand how the little ones take up all your spare time.

Here's a couple of photos of him. The first is our first family day with him, the second is (obviously) Red Square.

Thanks to all of you that offered prayers, cheers and support during our adoption.

Much Love,
Kim, Lance and Jackson

He is adorable. How did you get away with having him in Red Square, with not hat, and not getting attacked by the babuskas?
