While we wait!

Well, today we got Hannah's passport in the mail. Yesterday we got Mallory's passport in the mail. YEAH! ! ! So, that is one more thing taken care of in this process of going to Russia~~We are excited! I am also in the middle of reading a book about adoption called 20 Things Adoptive Parents Need to Succeed and it is really informative for helping to prepare for adoption, and the emotions that go along with dealing with adopted children. The way I see it, it is very similar to things we learned when we chose to go through a parenting class. How to relate to your children, how to deal with grief, etc. A wide range of things. It has been a blessing to read. Also, I want to post a picture of our girls who have both now gotten their braces off. This is what a total of $8800 in braces looks like. I personally think they look beautiful! I'm not partial at all, huh? . . . as we wait!
