We may or may not ever be able to make an announcement that "we're pregnant"...but we have come to understand that the blessing is the fact that however parenthood happens, it is a miracle! ....... Now we have been home with our precious blessing from Russia since August 2007. Join us on our fun and crazy ride that we call "life with this child of mine."

A Vlog... V(ideo B)log...
...or as close to one as you're going to get right now!

Iliya and I sat down and made a video a couple nights ago. I have this cool laptop that has a camera in it, and Nathan had to work late Monday night, so after his bath, Iliya and I tried out the new laptop camera. And it was pretty fun. Please do excuse both my appearance (I'd already taken my makeup off & changed into my comfy old shirt) and my voice. As usual, I just really don't like my voice. But I had to share it anyway. Enjoy!

He's such a sweetie. I love how he calls himself La-la.

Did you sign with him at all? It looked like he was making the sign for "eat."

Your sweet little ones always brings a big smile to my face. Tonigt I was sitting in my chair with my sweet puppy and watched the video, Harley sat up on my lap and watched the whole thing, he kept turning his head everytime that "la-la" spoke...it was to cute. Thank you for sharing your family....

Very sweet.

I enjoyed the post concerning looking through the Dossier file. How time flies once home.

As for pull ups, we have used to allow our children the independence to go on their own. I cannot say that they work for the night routine. I think it is good that they have a way to pull down/pull up their pants when learning. Much easier than getting their underpants wet especially when at school or church. Just thought I'd give my opinion.

That was great!

LOVED it!! Makes me want to make a video of me and Owen! Iliya is so sweet, Melissa. Thank you for sharing!!

How sweet! He is really talking a lot. Kudos for being 'real' enough to do a video post makeup removal. I don't know if I'd be gutsy enough for that.
