I'm Here!

Too cute. Here's my little Russian Prince! He's six now! (Time flies) This was from a concert he had at school! This was the first time that he actually didn't cry out loud when singing! Yeah!!!!

Looking to adopt DD within the following year! (Crossed Fingers) Starting a Non-Profit Org to help with the adoption costs. Once we're done...it will help others.

I am trying to attach a picture but all of my files are too big. Not sure how to make them smaller - any suggestions?

I figured it out - I think.

These are pictures of my DH and I on our first trip to meet our twin boys (Artyom & Sergei). When I look at the pictures I notice how much they have changed just since June.

It has been quiet around here. I don't really post pics anymore (for privacy with my blog and all), but I think these are pretty safe.
One is of my three kids on a hike at one of our favorite places. Apparently, DD's shoes were not chosen for good hiking...and bro DS2 was helping her out. So sweet.
The next is of all of us on a rafting trip this summer. It was awesome...
Third is of DD when I practiced her Halloween make-up. I'm guessing you can tell she is being Raggedy Ann!

Here's my little guy showing off his cast. He "broke" his elbow when we went to the beach over Labor Day.

We had a wonderful day today. There was a production at the local theatre called pop goes the 80's and Antonina's tiny school were asked if the children wanted to take part. Antonina wanted to do it along with 8 other children and she's been busy all week learning the chorus to Belinda Carlisle's song, Heaven on Earth. The children sang infront of the audience tonight and they were all amazing. Of course I only had eyes for my little girl and I cried my eyes out all the way through! There aren't any photos as such because we weren't allowed but here are a few recent one's of her first day of school.
