Our Little Reindeer!!


In Ukraine (or at least the orphanage where Nataliya lived) they will typically begin dressing children up a bit ... once they have adoptive parents on the scene. So on this day (Sunday) it was the first time they had Nataliya all dressed up for us! Thus the bows in her hair!! So many people asked (after seeing pictures of these bows in her hair) ... what were they made of. Were they shower scrubby things? No ... they were actually brown ribbon ... knotted to her head and then made into a bow.

As I'm writing this ... the girls are jumping off of our ottoman into their Daddy's arms ... toooooo precious!!! Now Daddy is making up silly songs and they are doing somersaults all over our family room floor.

Just tonight Chris said to me "wow ... they are alot of work ... but SUCH a BLESSING!!"

Much love from the Conrad family!!

Mary :o)

P.S. I guess they went from reindeer to rabbits ... furry rabbits! :o)
