Bella :)
Bella still cracks us up....Here she is sporting my reading glasses that she "stole" from my nightstand....
What a cutie! We are adopting a Reece's Rainbow girl named Tatiana. I'm glad I found your blog! I'd love to hear any advice you have for someone adopting a 5-year-old orphan with Ds. It's all new to us, but we are so excited! www.fillmoresjourneytoanna.blogspot.com

This "beautiful gift from God" has been given to us through the miracle of adoption. She became part of our family in August 2009. We are excited to see how God will use this Ukrainian princess for his glory!
