Signed and Sealed


Our time with Leah is going well. She is always smiling when we come to pick her up. She especially likes Chris and Christopher. She actually lunges to get to Christopher. I can tell they will be close as he loves her already. She also has Daddy wrapped around her finger. We have given her bits of plain cookies and she loves them. They told us not to feed her so we follow the rules most of the time. Unfortunately she already knows where the stash is. Also when the other families bring food she can smell it a mile away and lets everyone know she wants some. She does not miss a trick. Her care givers say she has a good appetite.
Christopher has taught her DA DA. She can mimick him already. He on the other hand is learning Russian and can say a few words.
Leah had her passport photo taken today and we went to the notary to sign documents for the adoption so the process is moving along on time.
We are at day 6 and counting.......

Enjoy every bit of time you have there...when else will you be able to spend time as a family without the distractions of everyday living?! Your family looks so happy, and we can all see how Leah is already thriving!

In His Love,
Michelle

What a beautiful baby girl! Congratulations!

We are friends of the couple from Delaware. Please tell them "HI" from the Hitch's. When I saw the pictures of the babyhouse I was so excited to maybe catch a glimpse of their new son...but no. (Not that the other kids weren't adorable.) :)

It's great to read that your son is enjoying the trip. We plan on taking our 9 yr old with us. :)
