First Few Days Home

Rachel wanted to take some photos to send back to Ukraine.

Andrew is sure growing up!

Aww, I just love this picture.

Another keeper of two of my sweet girls.

Sveta is so excited that finally she is almost as tall as Julia.

Julia and Paul.

Anna riding her balloon like it is a horse. Go Anna Go!

Jonny and his balloon buddy.
It has been great weather for swimming. I think Alex is close to swimming on his own. I put two and two together when I saw how much he swam around in my big bathtub. I told him to do the same thing in the pool with me holding him and now he is almost swimming!

Dennis is my waterboy. He just loves playing in the water.
Dennis has Anna wrapped around his little finger. She will do almost anything for him. Aww, who am I fooling? He has all of us wrapped around his little finger with his cuteness.
Andrew and Jonny can be such goofballs!

Alex is finally beginning to enjoy coloring. He is even drawing. When did that happen? :)

I took this picture by accident. Notice how you can't really see any of his amniotic banding. I love it because it represents how we see Dennis. He is beautiful. He is perfect.

Have enjoyed reading about Anastasia and Paul's homecoming. :) And Dennis is perfect. He reminds me of the actor Haley Joel Osment when he was a little boy. :)

Great pictures of the kids. How nice to send to the Ukraine.

Having a pool and fun yard to play in must be really wonderful for A & P. A perfect time to join your family before the crazziness of the school year.
