Happy 3rd Family Day!
We celebrated the 3rd Family Day of our little princess - boy, we can't believe where time has gone! We picked her up from such a sad place, the poorest hospital in the Moscow Region that one can imagine. No diapers for her (at 9 months!), clothes held together with rubber bands - no toys, nothing.
But it was love at first sight. Everything has been super easy with her. Attachment was so much easier than with our son. They are best friends now, and she learns so much from him. We feel so blessed to have found these two children, born in very different parts of Russia. Also, Elisa got her newest set of glasses (bifocals) today. This must be her fourth set or so... But we are grateful that no surgery is recommended at this point. Well, here is our little princess on her very special day!
