Happy Thanksgiving.

We had a great Thanksgiving...lots of food, family and fun! We were so happy to have Grace home this year. Last year we were watching the videos from our first trip. Much better this year.

We put the Christmas tree up today and MG helped decorate it tonight. She is so stinkin cute and so funny lately. She's talking(babbling) all time and trying to repeat everything we say. Yikes!

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

One Year Ago.

It was one year ago that we met MG for the first time. http://voyagetorussia.blogspot.com/2008/11/she-is-doll.html

This is right after they brought her out to us.

Saying hello to Dad for the first time.
Our little Piglet. A year later getting ready for her FIRST x-mas picture.

More Shoes Please....

MG loves her shoes, my shoes, daddy's shoes... crocs, boots, sneakers, flats, heels ... any shoe that gets left out or she can pull out of a closet she tries on. She puts it on, walks around for a bit, and then kicks it off and puts another one on. If she is wearing her shoe she just slips mine on over it. :) There are shoes everywhere in our house. I swear I pick up more shoes than toys. But really...who can blame her...who doesn't love shoes.

In her favorite furry boots from Auntie Michele ... and her shirt that says, "More Shoes Please." (seriously I found it at the Gap)

First Halloween.

I'm finally getting a chance to post some pictures from Halloween. MG had a ball ... she loved climbing the stairs and then getting to pick out a piece of candy. Lots of fun!
