Beautiful girl





One of my favorites...

 

Playing with her friends

 

 



Toys are fun!

Someone's here to visit?

Happy girl!  (notice the pictures of us together on her crib!!)

Another favorite.  So cute.

Get me outta here!

My good friend Becky....just couldn't resist those cheeks could you?!  Isnaika loved it!

Happy

This has to be the biggest smile I've seen from her - thanks Becky

Grandma #2 (Becky's Mom) Debbie Welter - 2nd visit!!

Absolutely LOVE this picture

Awwwww... we're going to have to visit Aunt Becky in Chicago sometime!

What a great day for Isnaika!

Happy girl

LOVING the attention!

The orphanage

WHAT!! You already want a cell phone?

The tongue just cracks me up

Probably when Becky said she was leaving.  Don't go!!

I'm happy to see she was in this.. hopefully practicing to stand!





Her bed.  The toy my niece Margaret gave her.  The mirror her Grandma Carol gave her.  The family photo book her Aunt Patti gave her.  Little pieces of home and her family are with her every day.

"Grandma" - thanks for visiting her again!!

My sweetheart



NEW PICTURES!!!

What a day!  I feel like it's Christmas!  I just opened an email from my friend Becky who took amazing pictures of Isnaika.  I saw some of the BIGGEST smiles I've ever seen out of her in that set of pictures!!!!  I also got a set of pictures of Isnaika from another mother adopting from the same orphanage.  wow.  Those pictures were of her in her crib with pictures of us together in the background on her crib!  Another mother took pictures down and taped them on her crib for me.  I'm hoping also to see a picture of a mobile I sent with someone for Isnaika's crib....hoping she has some fun moments in her crib. 

This most recent set of pictures are the best I've seen of her.  She's so smiley and happy.  When I was there, she was a little under the weather with a fever and cold...but wow, I'm so excited to have such happy pictures!  I'll get them posted shortly for all to see my sweet little girl!

Hello Everyone!

Thanks to my good friend Becky for visiting Isnaika yesterday!  Looks like you guys had a fun time! 

Better late than never

Still figuring out this blogging stuff

So I've added a bunch of videos under the video section.  Those are my favorites.  Still working on the title / hand pic and adding a link to more pics.
