Our lives have drastically changed and we have been abundantly blessed! Our adoption was finalized in Volgograd Russia on January 17th, 2007. We took custody of the boys on January 18th, and we arrived home from Russia on January 23rd. So we have now been home for around five days. Nick is now 14 months old and Ben is 15.5 months old. We are all loving our new lives together!
Home sweet home with our two sons!!
Ben, who was not walking yet when he first came home, can now take 10 or 12 steps while only holding on with one hand.
We have this little ride-on/push toy that he loves to walk behind and push and he can do it quite well now. This works out great because Nick likes to ride it and be pushed:).
Nick likes to suck his thumb, while holding something soft in the other hand as he falls asleep. He can sleep anywhere and he falls asleep very quickly if he is tired. No problem with the car seat at all.
Aren't they adorable!!
Here are the boys with my Grandma Rilla, their Great Grandmother. Grandma Rilla is my Dad's mother.
Papa, holding Ben. This is my Dad.
My brother Kelly, holding Nick.
The cats are really interested in these new
inhabitants of our house. They are not
sure what to think.
