Referral....our Daughter!

We FINALLY received our referral for the adoption. She is a beautiful little girl born on 11 April 2006.
Her name will be Alexandra Valentina Grass.

Below is the picture of Irina seeing her picture for the first time.

Christmas....2 months late

She loves the doll Ms. Jenny (one of our neighbors) got her.

It's been well over 2 weeks since I updated the blog and I have to apologize....I've been a slacker. I still have Christmas, New Years Eve, Irina's birthday, etc to catch you all up on. I 'promise' to start this up and hopefully finish in the next few days.

Over the holidays, Robert had time off and was actually able to stay home for a few days with us. Irina, of course, thinks this was in celebration of her birthday. And is there really any reason to burst that bubble??? Nope...I can't think of a single one.

We also received news of our adoption and have been running around like chickens with our heads cut off (my neighbors can confirm how 'crazy' I've been) trying to get paperwork taken care of, fingerprints, etc. Now we just continue to pray. That is also a cue for everyone and anyone who reads this blog...PRAY :-)

I'll be in touch soon.....Sandi

Christmas Eve Letter

Irina wanted to write a letter to Santa this year to leave with his cookies and milk. For weeks she's been going on and on with the things she wanted him to bring. Thankfully, she didn't change her mind much which made shopping for her easy! I think the funniest part is she dictated the entire letter. She knew exactly what she wanted to say.

Dear Santa,
I have been a VERY good girl this year.
Things that I have done that are good
