Who is traveling right now?

Who is in country right now?

Someone sent me an email regarding the trip home with Yuri. Asking how we made it and what we gave him. I would REALLY like to respond to you but I can't find the message. PLEASE send it again. Sorry.

Long awaited post

Sorry it has taken me so long to post. Things have been a wee bit crazy. Praise the Lord! Kirill is with his Mommy and Daddy and is coming home! Thank you Jesus. Here is the last few weeks in pics.

We went swimming yesterday. Yuri didn't like to wear the glasses but he seemed not to react to the sun as much. I think with time they won't bother him at all. He had a good time. He ultimately threw up in the pool but what are ya gonna do. I had planned for all the other possibilities. He was wearing two swim diapers under his bathing suit and I was staying on top of his boogers but how do you plan for puke. He has been doing much better about throwing up but he swallowed too much water while swimming.

Yuri and Bohdan getting a bath. Yuri's face cracks me up in this pic.

Little Bohdan was too busy splashing to smile for the camera. He loves loves LOVES splashing in the water. As a matter of fact all our animals are dying of dehydration because if their water bowl has water in it he finds it and plays and splashes until it doesn't.

I love the progression of looks on Yuri's face. He is such a ham for the camera.
Caius isn't crawling yet but he is mobile. He scoots and rolls everywhere. And sometimes get stuck underneath things.


Josh's cousin graduated two weekends ago so Ash and I flew to Lubbock. We got to see some of my family and Josh's family. Asher LOVES his Uncle Andy, my brother. Here we are walking into the church for the graduation.
Asher didn't want to stop and take a pic.
Asher was really fussy while swimming, so his great granma Pat rescued him and he went right to sleep. She didn't let her broken arm stop her from holding her baby!
Here is Asher and Andy again. Too cute!

I think they wrestled 90% of the time.


So Bohdan is a snuggle bug. He wants to be with people all the time and likes to be held. Josh was putting up clothes on Saturday and Bohdan was following him around. So Josh put him in the Moby wrap and carried him around.
Problem with men carrying babies is that they are too practical. I walked into the boys room to find empty hangers hanging off one side of Bohdan and the shirts that were on hangers hanging off the other side. Notice Bohdan laid back looking at his Daddy. What a big help Bohdan was.

When I got back from the graduation I found myself with no babyfood for the bottles and NO diapers! Yikes! So I and all four boys went to Costco. It was a good trip but we get alot of comments and stares. But we stocked up on food. I then had to cook it all make this bags that I use to make the boys bottles. It took 3 days and two late nights but we are stocked up for at least a month. This was the second batch. I'm glad Josh was here to carry it to the freezer.

It was funny at Costco. I was buying a box of wipes and there was another Mom there grabbing the wipes at the same time. She said, "These things are awesome! My friend said a box lasted her 6 months!" I smiled and said yes they are great but a box only lasts me about two weeks. :0)
I'm getting the feeling I change ALOT of diapers.
