We get to bring this little one with us to the U.S. at Christmas! We feel very pleased to have gotten permission for her to travel internationally with us. We felt hopeful that it would happen, but the permission came through much much faster than we expected, so we're relieved that it's not a big unknown anymore. She'll be 1 year old by Christmastime, and really is a part of our family, so it's great she doesn't have to stay with people she doesn't know. Now back to plane flights with a baby, oh help me.....
I love this picture even though it's blurry. She's very loved at school, and although the girls mostly get to her first for cuddles, occasionally the boys do too. This was at a school science fair, and I'd just put her down to play on the floor, looked back and these boys were already playing with her.
