Happy Easter

Elijah's first Easter





Caleb is now a big brother and Elijah is a little brother. God is Good!

Home at last!

Elijah LOVES his puppy and can get rocking pretty good too!



Awwww, Jimmy loves Elijah! He even bought a stuffed tiger to give to Elijah when meeting him for the first time.





It's harder than I thought it would be to get these two to smile and look at the camera at the same time. LOL!

Elijah on the flight from Moscow to home.

Ben's on Spring break in Florida. He will get to meet Elijah tomorrow.
It feels so good to be home!
Elijah did great on the flight from Moscow to Atlanta. He only slept a couple hours and he was as good as gold the rest of the time. He slept real good all night for his first night at home too.:) This morning he has been having a lot of fun playing with all of his toys and riding his Rockin puppy.

We're coming HOME

Elijah, all ready to get his visa!

We got Elijah's visa today! We are leaving for the airport tomorrow at 9:00 am. We should arrive home around 8:30 pm! YAY!
Thank you for all of your prayers and support!

We're in Moscow

Tomorrow is Elijah's medical and Wednesday we go to the American Embassy.
And on Thursday, we come HOME!!!!!!

Thank you for all of your comments! I really love reading them while we are so far away from home. You Moms that traveled alone or stayed back to bring home your child understand how hard it is to be away from everyone!! So thank you again!:)

Thank you for all of your prayers too!

Changing channels

Yep! That's the TV remote. I had the TV on CNN World News and Elijah decided it was time for music videos. Before I changed it for him, I had to take a picture. He has it pointed to the TV that is mounted on the wall. We have been watching music videos. Elijah LOVES music and I found a station that plays English speaking videos with a Russian caption. They even have a BabyTime in the morning where they show baby music videos with characters and such. He loves it!

We are leaving for Moscow in a couple of hours.

More on Elijah

Elijah was signing "more" everytime he wanted to eat, so I showed him the sign for "eat". It's so cute when he does it. He mimicks everything I do. He loves music and he was waving his hands in the air for music. It looked like he was signing "all done". I showed him the sign for "music" and he copied me. Now that one he does not do without modeling but the fact that he did it makes me happy. He loves to dance to the music and he has got some moves! If he is sitting down, he wiggles around and moves his arms around. Today while he was standing and holding onto my hands, he was picking each foot up and down to dance to the music. Too cute! Speaking of standing, we were in the lobby today and he repeatedly kept standing up in the middle of the floor. I think he may take a step soon.:) Elijah also loves to be picked up and raised his hands in the air to be picked up today. Good thing, because I love to hold him!
On a different note, we got Elijah's passport yesterday. Yay!

Happy Boy
