How about a picture parade?

Its been a while since we posted some pixs here and I see some old names popping up on some of these threads. How about a new picture parade?

Here are a few from Central Park and Bucks County last week. I have fewer pictures of Big Boy this trip. He's so much harder to contain lately. Always on the go. I'll have to get some of him with the fall colors this week now that its finally getting colder.

Christina! Oh my GOOOOOSH!!! I can't believe how big Sam and Sophia are! And they BOTH are just the most beautiful children! It's just amazing to me how much they've changed since we saw you guys in Chicago almost 2 years ago. Good GRIEF!

I will post some pictures of Olya when I get home this evening. She is really growing up, too! YIKES!

We are truly blessed by God to have these children in our lives!

From our home to yours, many hugs and blessings from above,
Lola

Cookie Monster?

Here's Julia last night with a box of cookies a friend sent her. (She was more interested in the box than the cookies!)

Great idea...and adorable pictures. Here's a couple of recent ones. Two that make me so proud..one is of DS saying bye bye to his binkies and the other is DD reading...really reading. And a side note...DS is a huge Dolphins fan...but the kids aunt and uncle from NY brought down the Giants jerseys. As always...I post as many pictures as it lets me in one post...sorry.

Hmmm - you don't have to ask me twice to post pics!

Everyone's kids are so precious!

Randloar - I'm with votemom - I don't remember seeing your kids - they are beautiful and both look very impish!

OK, I'll bite! Don't think I have posted pics in over a year or so....

First picture is when we met DD during trip 1. The rest are from the last 1-2 months. Our daughter was adopted from St. Pete in 2005 and has been home 2 1/2 years. She bears an uncanny resemblance to our son (bio). Things are going very well and we are so happy to be their parents. We love them both very much and can't imagine life without them.

Well obviously I need help posting pictures! My pics are too big so I need to figure out how to resize them.

Here are two pictures of Mr. Big Bad John. The first one is from our first trip to Russia and the second was taken a few weeks ago.

John is a great little boy and watching him grow up is the best thing I have ever done.

Wow! Everyone's kids are getting so big. I hope that this thread gets lots of pics because I love seeing them.

Karen, I am so jealous that Alex has gotten rid of the binky!

Here are two of Sean - I think he looks like Princess Lea from Star Wars in the second one. That is his PJ top on his head and my nieces boots on. FunnY!
