Valentine's Day!



Here are my two snuggle bugs. We sent out cards with this picture to our family and friends.

They are having a blast at their parties at school today and were so excited to pass out their valentines!

Hey there Paula! So good to see you! I bet Henry is getting big!

I am sending Irina an email today to tell her we are starting paperwork for number 3 and to find out how things are moving in region. We haven't heard from her in a long time so I hope all is well!

Take care and hugs to your big boy!
