Are you crazy????

We seem to be asked this question a lot by people lately. And the answer is "Duh!!" Who on earth is in their right mind would adopt a baby when they have a little over two years left of having kids in the house? Who is sane and spends tens of thousand of dollars to travel half way around the world twice in the dead of Russian winter? We realize we have mental health issues, but we like them. Don't worry the are you crazy comments don't offend us. Deep down I think a few people are envious of our decision. We both love kids and love being parents.

Thank you everyone for all of your support and congratulations! We are very happy, excited and nervous all in one. We will not be traveling until February. The baby will be about ten month old when we get him home. As we get closer in time I will share more of the details with everyone. We have lots to do to get ready. Of course I have shopping lots lately.

The girls all seem to be fairly excited. I think it is a little unreal for them as it is us. Once he is home I know they will love him. It would be hard at 15, 17 and 23 to have a baby brother all of a sudden.

Michelle has been visiting the last couple of days and it was fun to share all of the travel things and baby things with her. I want the girls to be interested and happy about this too.
