Today when we got into the visiting room and Ava saw Svetlana our translator, she hid on my shoulder and became suddenly very shy. This is both good and bad I guess. We are glad that she is so bonded to us and treasures our time together but she may be in for a shock when she gets home and realizes that the three of us wont be able to spend every waking moment drawing and going for walks :-)
We hope that you all have a wonderful, safe weekend. Surprise surprise, there's another holiday this Saturday so we will be heading down to the town square after our visit to check out the festivities. There's also an important holiday in America this weekend...Mother's day! Happy Mothers day to the two best Mommies in the world. My Mommy and my Mommy-In-Law. James and I feel so prepared going into parenthood b/c we had two of the best Moms to ever walk the earth. Happy Mother's day to all you Mothers out there. Enjoy your special day!
Ava looking just lovely in her new spring jacket and hat!
What a doll
This picture cracks me up! Today we were doing walking lessons and James would swing Ava around when she'd walk to him. Well, the kids outside thought this looked like fun so they began walking back and forth and then wanted James to swing them around too. Ava needs her arm out like that sometimes to help with balance while she's still learning. This group of kids is too cute. We want them all!
She's always curious to see what others are up to.
It was a wonderful day for a stroll...
And everyday is a wonderful day for playing around with Dada
We got a little closer to a smile this time...we'll keep trying

LOVE the hat, love the picture with all kids running what fun they are all having, especially Ava. I've been thinking alot about the big change coming Ava's way seeing new places, airplane rides, her new home, cute room and Zoe and Dora. Then there will be all the family to meet, what an exciting and overwhelming time for her. Thankfully, she has two extraordinary parents that will help her ease into this adjustment. Happy First Mother's Day Kari! Love you all! Mom
That hat and coat are too cute!! Great family photo too!!
Happy First Mother's Day!!! Have a wonderful First Mother's Day with your sweet little girl!
Happy Mothers Day Kari!!!How exciting! I love her new spring attire and the picture of the group of kids-looks like there might be a lot of sad k1ds if Kaz ever lets James go home! who will twirl them all around!?
Ava is one blessed baby to have such loving parents. We couldn't be prouder of what wonderful parents you two are becoming! We can't wait to start a relationship with Ava too. Happy first Mother's Day Kari! I wish I could give you a big hug! xoxoxo Mom
Hey Kar-Bear, James and Ava, you need to come home now. I am getting sad at the fact that when you get home I wont have a lot of time with you. I know you cant do anything to move the court date closer but I am praying with all of my might that a miracle will happen so you can come home soon. I love every picture and will cherish them when I can't see you guys face to face next year.
PS I can have that little dancing friend in the brown coat with the bear on the end-I have fallen in love!!!!!!! (In the group photo)
