Oh my heavens - they are beautiful and really growing. I may have posted one of these before...moving computers and don't have access to all my pics. But, these are a couple from Christmas time...

Your kids are adorable! I wish I had gotten a bigger size Russian dress for my munchkina. The store clerk in Moscow sold me one for a five year old, but DD was fitting into it at age 3 (she's always been in the upper range on the growth charts). Now it's too small, although I did get an adorable photograph of her in it. Love the pictures!!!

Here's my cutie back in Ohio for Christmas! The second picture was on our way home from an exhausting, but wonderful Christmas day! The third pic was the first time he ever had a sucker and he loved it! And the last pic we are back home and he wouldn't let his sister have her scarf back!

Christina...You two look so grown up! How did that happen???

All the kiddos are just too precious and all look so happy.

Here's my little guy from our Sea World trip at Thanksgiving. He climbed up on the rock and begged me to take a picture of him...the little ham!

OP and all who posted pictures...WOW do we all have the most beautiful kiddos or what!?

Here's a few recent ones of my kiddos...more from our Christmas photo shoot, our actual Christmas and DD (striped tights) from her starring role in our Church's Christmas musical.
