We've been into new kites up here lately as well. I love the American flag kite. Just curious, do you guys feel like going through this adoption process has in some way made you feel more patriotic? I have a great memory of sitting in the back of Dad's Blazer with Christopher on the way down to Galveston, where we used to go to fly kites at the beach. "Mommy" had given us a bunch of fabric to tear into strips and tie into an old fashioned kite tail. It kept us busy for the ride down there. The drive was only about 30 minutes, but for kids headed to the beach and Grandma's house, that was long ride. We tied and tied and tied. Gosh, those tails must have been at least 10 feet long, but our dime store Gala kites flew high and steady. Kites were one of those big things we did as kids. I'm so glad to know that we're both sharing that with our own children. I can't wait for all the kids to get together and fly some kites. Maybe this summer. :) Love, Aunt Nana My nephews are gorgeous! We’ve been into new kites up here lately as well.

In light of all the challenges, I think you should all feel very proud. In just a few months, you (Lara and Chris) have done such a great job of helping Alex and Evan adjust so well to their new family life and American culture, and the boys are growing and developing as typical, healthy kids -- exploring the world at large, adjusting to social challenges, and testing the boundaries of everyone's authority. We're so happy for you all, and wish you the best of everything to come. What a good reminder of all that’s happened over a very short period of time.

WOW, three.... I love the happiness the boys show. You both are doing a great job, and yes, parenting is "on-the-fly,day to day, but stay positive. It is all worth it. To hear them say "I Love You" over the phone is heart warming. Love Mom and Grandma Dani. Great pictures as always. WOW, three…. I love the happiness the boys show.
