They Are Worth It

This video made me cry.  Watch it and pay attention til the very end.  Trust me, it's worth it.

This Time Last Year

We were in Moscow having our physicals done.  I was pregnant and miserable, but we were so close to getting our boy.  I can't believe it's been a year already.  I'm going to spend the next couple of weeks recounting our time by showing you the things I wasn't allowed to then.  We weren't supposed to say where Zeb was or show anything that might give it away so we kept all those pictures to ourselves.  But now, it's been a year.  And I really want you to see the changing of the guard.  It was so fun to watch.

Today, though, I will start with the view while flying over Greenland.

And the hotel we stayed in while in the capital city.

The elevators were TINY!

Our room was very big and spacious and had a nice view.

Every bathroom we saw had those heated towel bars.  I've since seen them for sale here in the States, but I'm sure we have no need for them in Texas.  Made perfect sense for the region we stayed in though.

That's it for now.  Next I'll show you more of the city and tell you about the food.

First Girl!

Nora decided to continue the tradition.  She's the first girl in our family to be daring enough to try.  Look at her go!

And look at her love up on her daddy when she was finished.

Here a tooth, There a tooth

It's been a month of teeth!  Lillian decided to lose her first tooth about a month ago.  Then tooth number 2 and 3 followed in the next few weeks.  And now, Nora has FINALLY cut her first tooth!  She's been a non-stop drooler for three months!  I bet teeth 2,3,and 4 follow rather quickly.

Zeb had to get in on the action!

And Nora's grin.

Praising God This Morning!

Look!  All the orphans I have loved for so long have made it to the My Family Found Me page on Reece's Rainbow.  So, I will be adding different orphans to the left side of my blog next week.  There is one in particular that has stolen my heart.  Especially, now, since someone has met him and blogged about his sweet character.  I'll tell you what I know soon.
For now though, I am just praising God Almighty for loving the orphan and for setting the lonely in families!
