It's Gotcha Day!!

Two years ago today, Mummy and Daddy stood in a Siberian courthouse for an hour and a half, proving we were worthy of bringing home two beautiful little boys. It is amazing to look back on that time and feel like it is ancient history. Here are some before and after pics for perspective.




After tomorrow, Carson will have been with us longer than he was in Russia. That day doesn't come for Conner untill June 26, 2009. We don't quite know how to celebrate these days, but we know they are certainly noteworthy. It kind of solidifies our notion that we are a happy, healthy, cohesive family.



Raising two little boys can really be a puzzle. Sometimes the pieces fit together perfectly, and sometimes you think you've got pieces to three or four different puzzles. Above, the boys show off their completed "big boy puzzle" that neighbor Deborah let them borrow. They both really enjoy puzzles, and are quite good at them. (unbiased opinion)
