Our Chubby Little Girl


Wow, can you believe how chubby Nadia was? Not sure when this picture was taken but it sure looks like she was well taken care of as a baby which warms this Mama's heart. From the few pictures we've been given, it "seems" as if Nadia's orphanage is one of the nicer ones.

It breaks my heart to see the pictures on Reece's Rainbow of the children who are obviously undernourished and needing medical attention. You can help save their lives by considering a donation to the general Reece's Rainbow fund or to an individual child's adoption fund. RR just had their biggest fundraiser for the year and it's phenomenal how many families have stepped up to adopt a child (or children) because the financial aspect of adopting has been helped along by those donations.

Anyway, just wanted to share another picture and to put in a plug for this wonderful ministry. Click on the website and look under sponsorship to see just how many families are adopting children out of these orphanages. It's pretty amazing. http://www.reecesrainbow.com/

    Nadia is yummy. Cannot wait to get my hands on her and take her to Gymboree (even if her mother has to be dragged there kicking and screaming). Little babushka:) (I think that might be Russian.)

  5. oh Kristin...how beautifully adorable my new niece is..we absolutely cannot wait until she is here in Raleigh with you so we can spoil her rotten...you know Jessica will be asking to be over constantly, mothering and smothering her with love and kisses. She will have difficulty deciding between AJ and Nadia at times, since you know how much she loves to cuddle her little baby:)..just kidding, of course, as she is so excited for Nadia's arrival! We will all enjoy your new addition to your family and are delighted for you guys.
