Here is my first glance

In Moscow I do not have the ability to post pictures because I will be/am blogging from my phone. One thing I know is that everyone wants exactly what I have always wanted. PICTURES!!

So in preparation for that I have scheduled a couple of posts to share her with you all. Even though these pictures are not the most recent ones I hope you enjoy them as much as I did when I first saw them. It is hard for me to believe that the first time I saw them it was January 13, 2009. I believe that these pictures were taken when she was about 12 months old.

Now you all know why I fell in love with that sweet little face. Over the past 7 months different ones of these photos have been my favorite. These are the photos that are plastered on my refrigerator. Gerard and I talked about soon we will be replacing these sweet pictures with ones that we have taken here at home.

She's adorable! And I see that you're already grooming her to love Snoopy, so that's just all the better.

Seriously, we're so happy that this long leg of your journey is finally drawing to an end so you can embark upon the next exciting phase!

So precious, Joy --- I could just squeeze her (but of course I wouldn't....not until after you've long ago bonded!!!).

I keep thinking "It's XX time in Russia so Joy must be doing this or that". Can't wait to see pictures of her in your arms FOREVER.
