Adopting Sister: For Anyone Who Hasn't Given Up on Checking This Blog...
http://adoptingsister.blogspot.com/2008/10/for-anyone-who-hasnt-given-up-on.html
Wednesday, October 22, 2008. For Anyone Who Hasn't Given Up on Checking This Blog. Sorry it has been so long! Just as we all got settled in, school started and I was back to planning lessons, grading papers, attending school events as well as all the extracurricular activities the boys are in and helping them with their own homework and tests-I just haven't sat down to type! Jill is doing great! Afterwards she kept pointing to it and asking, "Jill jump? So we let her back in it three more times! She had ...

Adopting Sister: Family Photos!
http://adoptingsister.blogspot.com/2008/08/family-photos.html
Tuesday, August 19, 2008. We went to a great place called Portrait Innovations to have family photos taken last Friday. All together we had 88 pictures snapped! We ordered quite a few and were given a CD of all 88 shots. I asked if it was legal to post them on the blog and they said yes! So here's a sampling of how they turned out! Posted by Wade and Amy Williams. The pictures turned out great! August 19, 2008 at 8:42 PM. Your family is just beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing your pictures. Which is y...

Adopting Sister: July 2008
http://adoptingsister.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 29, 2008. Ours for One Whole Month! Sunday was one month from the day we picked Jill up! Today was a crazy day! She hated the shots and bloodwork. In fact she started screaming when the nurse put alcohol on her arm! I don't know if she just didn't like the alcohol's feel or smell or if they do this before giving shots in Russia and she remembered it. She was so worn out afterwards that even though she had a package of 3 graham crackers in the car, she fell asleep after eating only two!

Adopting Sister: June 2008
http://adoptingsister.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2008. It really doesn't seem like it's been four days! We've made a lot of progress in four days. For one, she doesn't suck her thumb all day anymore. Even when she's mad at us (like when we want her to use the toilet for example) she starts moving her thumb to her mouth and then-usually-stops on her own and slams her hand down on the ground. She really does seem to want to please us. Usually it only stays closed for about 1-2 seconds, but once she kept it closed for 5 seconds! Today we ...

Adopting Sister: Lots and Lots and Lots and Lots of Photos
http://adoptingsister.blogspot.com/2008/08/lots-and-lots-and-lots-and-lots-of.html
Monday, August 11, 2008. Lots and Lots and Lots and Lots of Photos. Wearing her cool sunglasses holding her cell phone at Ty's baseball game. Jill played her very first 'board game', Cootie, with Ty, Jake, and Mommy, and SHE WON! The winner gets hugs and kisses! Jake and Ty both love to spin her around until she's dizzy. She falls down, gets back up and wants to do it again, and again, and again, and again! All of her Band-aids from her shots and blood work. At least they matched her dress! She is a doll!

Adopting Sister: November 2008
http://adoptingsister.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 11, 2008. Just wanted to comment a bit on Jill's talking. She's gone from saying one word, to two word phrases, to a few three word phrases over the past few months. Then, about two weeks ago she must have noticed that when we talk we use some smaller words in with our important words. So, at Jake's soccer game she said, "car? And I ignored her because the game had just started and we had a long time to go before getting back in the car, but then she said, "do.you.car? Turns out my mom ...

Adopting Sister: April 2008
http://adoptingsister.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 25, 2008. Buttomorrow we're getting up early to get to breakfast early to leave at 8:30 for the airport! Tomorrow mid-morning we'll be in Moscow again. We plan to go to Arbat Street which is famous for souvenir shopping. So, on the second visit I wanted to measure her foot by tracing it onto a large piece of paper I had brought. She definitely didn't want us to take her shoes off. She also wouldn't let us trace her foot with her shoe on! She was still trying to get away with playing the pia...

Adopting Sister: March 2008
http://adoptingsister.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 31, 2008. We have travel dates! Our caseworker is out of the office today, tomorrow and Wednesday, but assured us that another member of the Russia team would call us if travel dates came through, and about noon today-they did! Unfortunately they have asked us to travel the exact week that we told them we would be unavailable to travel, April 21st! Here's what we've decided on:. So, look up this blog the week of April 21st-26th to read all about our first trip to Astrakhan to meet sister!
