Take Me Off The List

I am thrilled to say - we can come off the list! We got home last night with our beautiful baby boy. We are tired, I have lots of laundry to do but we could not be happier. Our family is complete and big sister Gracie gave him a big hug and kiss and even shared some cheerios with him this morning.

Wow! Looks like things are moving apace! Thanks for posting, Pinkie.

And Sipper, were you in Vladimir proper, or the region? We were in Alexandrov for court but Vladimir for finalization papers.

Sooooooooo glad you are home safe and sound, and with your baby! Congratulations!

NOW, SLEEP, ALL OF YOU! (and that's an order!)
