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."

Even if it was through an Absentee Ballot...
And prayerfully so. Did you?
And in other news...
Looks like we might have a serious ball player on our hands...look at that eyebrow cocked like he means it!
love the eyebrow...SERIOUS stuff for those ball players. how do you get so many great shots...do you ever put the camera down. Husband is always after me to "stop taking pictures!"
We went early to vote & so did about 90% of Scottsboro. It was amazing the number of people out at 7:30 this morning. It's neat the people you see at the polls. The girl in front of me was a classmate 30+ years ago & I don't know that I've seen her since high school & we live in smalltown America. Also saw the Gists -- his sister was pushing his wheelchair. That's taking the privilege of voting seriously, when you have to make that extra special effort when your health is holding you back. They said to send all of you kids their love.
Don't you think Iliya takes most anything he does seriously? He always appears absorbed in whatever thing he is active in at the moment. And always is Mr. Cutie!
Got a few more bouncy balls for his collections at g/mom's & g/dad's house. More to look for as they bounce & hide under the furniture, in baskets & other mysterious places :o)
That is a great picture of Iliya!! He is just too adorable. I enjoy your blog so much and look forward to all the new pictures you post. :) Take care...and yup, our household early voted!
We voted too. Eli cried, because he really dislikes people he doesn't know and all the poll workers wanted to talk to him because he's so adorable, but at least he got to see democracy in action!
Iliya looks like he's taking the ball playing very seriously! So precious!
"When I was very young, most of my childhood heroes wore capes, flew through the air,
or picked up buildings with one arm. They were spectacular and got a lot of attention.
But as I grew, my heroes changed, so that now I can honestly say that anyone who does
anything to help a child is a hero to me."

"The real issue in life is not how many blessings we have, but what we do with our blessings. Some people have many blessings and hoard them. Some have few and give everything away."
