We are supposed to be going to a reunion party today for local families that adopted from the same baby home Noah lived in in Vidnoye, Russia.
Friends of ours have this party every year around this time. And every year it seems, it rains. This year we are having the mother of all thunderstorms.
So the party got me thinking of when we adopted Noah, almost five years ago! August 11 will be his 5th "gotcha" day. So I started looking through some pictures and it sure brought back memories. Thought I'd share some pictures we took while we were in Russia.

Katia and Alyona were our adoption facilitators. They held our hand through everything and were our interpreters.

Your son is just beautiful and the picture of you both with his grandparents, just Precious. You are absolutely radiant. Great Show and Tell, thanks.

ReplyDeleteBy any chance was your sweet Noah born to a young lady named Tatiana alexandrovia? My daughter also from Vidnoye and looks just like your son. My daughter was born May 10 2010. Can you please respond to my question at heidisart@gmail.com
