Happy Easter and we are home!



We are so Joyful this Easter! Our journey to Russia was filled with so many Blessings!

I have a link to bubbleshare (web photo sharing site) to share, we are keeping it somewhat private. I did send it to e-mail addresses that I have. It has some pictures of the baby home and surrounding area. Also a few sneak peek photos of Bunny. If you would like to see it please send your e-mail address, comment or a note on how to connect with you.

Thank you so much for all the Prayers, well wishes, e-mails of support and comments on this blog. You are all so Fantastic!!! Your help and encouragement is so appreciated. God Bless You!

Jolynn and Rich,
Welcome home! I've been following your blog through the AAI yahoo group and would love to see some photos if possible since we've been told we may be registered in Kaliningrad this time around(e-mail:cghouston610@yahoo.com). We're just starting our second adoption with AAI.

Congrats on a great first trip to Russia! I remember my husband and I walking around in our daughter's birth city and looking at every Russian women wondering who our little girl would look like. Now that we've been home for a little while, we think she looks just like our bio kids! The audio of your son giggling was amazing!

I was so excited for you & Rich (well, Bunny too) : ) after seeing the pictures you shared! I'm glad you had a safe trip. What little picture peeks you gave of Bunny, well I guess I should say 'J' now, omg, sooooo beautifully adorable! So, are you guys solid on a name yet or just know it's going to start with 'J'? Thanks so much for sharing those pictures and sorry it took me a while to comment, we've been sick with allergies and colds for the past month...blah! Anyways, I think that it's just precious that you'll have all those pictures from Russia to share with 'J' when he gets older! Love you guys and I'm praying that God will give you both peace and reassurance during this waiting period. Blessings! <3 your cousin
