We're still here!

YIKES! I think we almost lost our loyal following of Bloggers! I do apologize for letting so much time slip by. Honestly, it was incredibly difficult to leave our little Norah, and I fear my emotions may have come in the way of returning to the Blog. However, it hit me yesterday, thanks to a kind email Larry received from one of his friends from work. She told Larry how much she enjoyed the Blog, and how much she has missed it, and wondered how we were all doing. I think I may have underestimated how many amazing people are out there cheering us on. So, our sincere gratitude goes out to each and every person sharing this journey with us. Larry and I created this Blog for Norah, so that one day, we can show her how many people were watching, waiting, and falling in love with her. After all, the journey is just beginning….Larry and I celebrated our 8th Wedding Anniversary on October 9th. Although we are blessed to have a loving marriage, we are now even more grateful to be a family of 3. We are extremely eager to return to Kazakhstan to receive Norah. We know she is in excellent hands thanks to Dr. Irina's wonderful staff and baby house. All the same, we miss our little girl with all of our hearts. We leave November 1st and will return Nov. 8th with our bundle of joy. We plan to continue to Blog-so look for new pictures and stories of Norah once she's home. We are thrilled that there are so many people out there supporting us. Thank you for all the beautiful gifts, cards, thoughts and prayers.

*I want to give a special, special THANK YOU to Sue Johnson, my friend from Villa Saint Martha. Larry and I can’t wait to see Norah in the gorgeous little dress you knitted for her-and she even has a dolly that you made to match. She’s going to look so cute. Thank you Sue-what a special gift, we will keep it always and say “remember when”….Love, Christy
