Here She Is!!!

The 10 day wait is over! We leave on Tuesday to make our fourth and final trip to Russia! We'll pick up Grace on Thursday and leave Baby Home #3 FOREVER!!! We are all so excited! Thank you all so much for the amazing support and encouragement!!!





She's gonna be a hat girl! We were trying hats on her and she never once tried to pull them off :)

Grace at 8 months old on our first visit.




Grace at 9 1/2 months on our second visit. She was wearing the same outfit that she was in on our 1st trip.



Her bedroom is finally completely finished. Brad hung the last pictures and it is no longer "Packing Central".


The frame says, "The moment we saw you we fell in love."

Oh she is just beautiful! What a dolly. Love her sweet smile and her chubby cheeks...I bet they will get plenty of kisses on them.

And that beautiful thick hair!! Maybe if you cut her hair sometime, you could send Maria some of it! lol.

I know you must be so anxious to return and pick her up FOREVER.

Oh my goodness, she is soooo ADORABLE!!! I LOVE her hair and big brown eyes! Now the REAL fun begins. Treasure your all your first moments with her because they go by so fast! I just spent the weekend packing up all Lexi's baby clothes (she's a big girl now) with a tear in my eye and wishing we could go back and do it all over again!
