2 More Days and 3 Years Ago

Kambyri Senait "Kamby" 5 months old


Thaddeus Joel "Thad" 8 months old
We leave in just 2 days to pick up our babies. Excitement and fatigue do not do just description to our feelings and state right now. We can not wait to see them and meet them especially with new, beautiful pictures such as these. With so much to do to get ready and with all the emotion of leaving Graci and Dax behind it is quite exhausting. I have never been good with leaving my kids. I don't think Savannah went to a camp by herself until she was in her teens. It is definitely not my strength. I am thrilled Alyx is going with us. Anyway, it is almost here and we excited to bring our babies home before they get any bigger or cuter!
Everybody is always sure that Kamby is the older baby. But in fact Thad is. He is small but weighs consistantly about a pound more than Kamby. They are about the same height. Thad suffered more illness when he was younger and his birthdate was actually readjusted according to his size and development. Since both babies are abandonment cases there is no 'real' information on them and it is speculated by the people that found them and the medical personel that see them.

This is a day late but it was three years ago that we anxiously received our referral for our beautiful baby girl in China.



Graci Jia - Nov. 20, 2009 - 3.5 years old.
