Johnny Jump Up!

Hello Everyone-it's a another wonderful day in Kostanai. Guess what Pa-Pa? Norah is up on all fours! Our strong little girl just pushed herself right up into a crawling position! She hasn't decided to move forward or backwards yet, but it appears that it wont be long. I'm so amazed at every little thing she does, I feel like I'm living in a brand new world, it's so easy to be 'in the moment' when in the presence of children-it's the best! Norah also loves the Johnny Jump Up, she shifts her body to one side and manages to reach the floor to twirl and jump on her tippy toes, I made a movie of it! Hope all is well on the home front! Love, Christy & Norah

Morning Christy and Norah,

It's so much fun watching Norah grow and get stronger before our very eyes. Question for you,does Norah sleep on her back or her stomach? Just wondering if at the baby house they feel as strongly as Americans do about babies sleeping on their backs. Norah up on all fours tells me that your beautiful hardwood floors will have a new "duster" when you get home. Like Jennifer and Mike, you have a perfect home for little ones.

Wishing our two Abrams girls a wonderful day together.

Love you so very much,
Aunt Sandy


As Uncle John says"it's another bautiful day in Oswego".
Glad to hear you have great weather too.

Hi my sister and new niece! Yep, as Aunt Sandy told you, I'm back in AZ. Hard to leave Allyson, but I did better than I thought I would.

Now maybe I can get back to writing to you more regularly. She is changing fast, that is one thing that will never change. She will continue to change. I found it very hard to keep up with the girls, still do! LOVED your poems. The poems and many of your messages have brought tears to my eyes. The first picture, the poems, today when you said "i have a daughter." We are all just so very happy for you three, we've been through the journey with you and can sense how you must be feeling. We all love being a part of this. Thank God for blogs, huh?

I miss you, we all do. Thinking of you all the time. Tell Norah Caroline Irina that we love her.
Love you, Deb

Hello MaMa and Norah,

I miss both of you so very much! Thank you for sharing such great pictures and comments. Mama and I try to talk each day navigating through the 10 hour time difference and she always has great stories to tell.

I am keeping very busy at home and of course thinking of you two all day. I have a busy week in a half at work and will be traveling. Everyone here says hello all our family, friends and neighbors are very excited to see the blog and get updates from me. I just got my travel tickets back and sent out for my visa. Since this is my second trip I was able to get a visa with two entries into the country so I will not need one when I travel to bring Norah home!

I cannot wait to see the two of you and spend time with you on August 25th.

Please say hello to the Gish family I am sure they are excited to come home soon! If they will still be there when I return and need anything please let me know.

Stay safe and take care of each other, with love

PaPa

So glad you were able to be there to see one of Norah's "firsts" - pushing up an all fours! Before we know it she'll be motoring around and exploring even more of the world around her.

I loved seeing the message from PaPa Larry - I can sense that he too is smittened and misses his two girls greatly! How exciting your reunion will be at the end of the month! I wonder if Miss Norah will have any more new accomplishments to show off for Daddy by then??

It's so great to see all three of you so happy - your journey to each other was so long, but you all made it to the right destination!!! I am so excited to continue to watch and soon be a part of the rest of your journey unfolding!

We leave for vacation this week and hope to catch up with Larry to hear more stories and hopefully see more pictures of Norah! Hope to talk to you soon!

Love ya lots,
ifer
XOXO
