We just love this picture of Valeria! She refused to smile at first - intimidated by the big flash units and the other kids. So, the teachers said "Oh look, here comes Sami!!" (That's Lera's beloved babysitter.) She smiled big, they snapped the picture, then they said "Oh, no, it's not Sami..." Hey - whatever works!
hi there -- thanks so much for posting on my blog. Your daughter is precious and adorable and I look forward to reading more of your story. I thank you for your comments as they made me feel better!
Also, your front yard photos are so beautiful. Where do you live and where can I get some of that gorgeous scenery? Stephanie
Thank you for taking the time to check out our blog. It chronicles our travels to Kazakhstan in April - June 2009, to meet and bring home our new daughter, Valeria. We live in Ohio and have two older kids, 6 and 8, who are as nuts about Lera as we are!
Please add comments after our posts, if you feel so inclined, as we love hearing from you. Or email me at alanghickey@gmail.com.
