little miss sunshine is 10!!

introducing....!!!

GUESS WHAT?!?!

Two LOA's came in the mail this week!!  What does this mean?  What is an LOA?  LOA means Letter of Approval and means that Anastasia and Daniel have official approval from that country to adopt Little Lion and Little Monkey.

This also means that we should be traveling in about 10-14 weeks...so...think middle of May-ish.

But most importantly for this blog post....

this means I can now share PICTURES!!!!!  

Wahooo!!!

So, may I introduce to you the next two little boys I will be a nanny for eventually...bringing my total to  5 boys (these two, Big Brother, Little Man...and then Superman on different weekdays)!

Little Lion

  

This was the first glimpse I had of him last August.  Precious boy's eyes look so sad here! 

Updated picture of him we got about a month ago.  And that little bear he's holding?  That is from the care package Anastasia sent him!  So it was so neat to see that he got it!  :)  His first present from mama and baba.  :)

and....

Little Monkey

Eeps! Isn't he sweet?!  This was our first glimpse.  Somehow he looks more content than Little Lion.  But we were still dying to see either boy smile!

Then came the update...

...and a SMILE!!!  I love how his eyes disappear!  :)  And I can't wait to dress them both.  Oh my.  :}

And one more just cuz...

Oh my goodness those cheeks need to be covered in kisses!!  :)

Soon boys.  We're coming to get you SOON!!

Found Zuzu sleeping away with his giraffe under his paw. Aww.  :}

I took Superman to the Little Gym for the first time last week.  At first he was a little nervous and I was wondering if he would cry at any point - but he didn't at all and ended up having a blast!  :)

 Last Friday evening I headed over to Shannon's house while her husband was out of town and we had a girls night like we used to do in highschool - yummy food and a good girl movie!  And although we had the same general snacks, our taste has gotten more sophisticated - like instead of cheddar cheese, we've graduated to feta and brie.  :}

Took my cute little godson with me to work Monday and Tuesday.  Makes things interesting to have three little guys to chase around! :)

The boys love to climb on this little chest in the corner and sit there.  Apparently there isn't quite room for three boys though and Eli plopped into the waste basket just behind it! Ha! 

Large cardboard boxes: my most definite favorite toy for kids ever.

Story time on the couch!! 

(And a terrible grainy cellphone pic! Oh well.)

He's just so stinkin' cute! 

 Quad stroller adventure for the first time!  In preparation for when Little Lion and Little Monkey come home.  I got quite a few double glances from cars passing by lol.  

Stay tuned for a very exciting post.....!
