I can’t tell you how much I enjoy and appreciate your photo posts. There is a lot of “heavy” conversation in the adoption blog world - and understandably so - it’s a stressful process. But your photos help me keep this whole journey in perspective, and gives me hope for the future…
It looks like you are having wonderful new adventures as a family! Fun!

Glad you like the pics, Jillian. Yes, we do try to have some serious conversations every now and then, but we just like to delight in and share the girls too. Besides, taking photos is fun

I love how you all have become a “normal family”-the way these pictures look like your girls could have been with you everyday. I know that every moment won’t be this way… but your family looks so fun!
Question about their sleep hats- do they stay on? Did you sew them or would you share where you got them?

Hi Ramona - they stay on great!
They are Nadia’s sleep caps.. I’ll do a quick post on them so people know how to get them in the next day or two

Great photos Nicky! It’s so great that they’re going for long walks. I’ve been meaning to order those sleep caps, too. I’d love to hear more.
