My journey of the adoption of my daughter from the Artem Baby Home near Vladivostok, Russia. Sunday, July 12, 2009. We have just been BUSY! Tori has been home for 2 and a half months now and continues to learn and grow in every way.well almost. I weighed her yesterday and much to my dismay she weighs the same as see did with her first Dr. visit.a whopping 22 pounds! I do wish she would have gained some weight by now. I am feeding her I promise =). It was absolute fun! The ladies absolutely enjoyed her!

My journey of the adoption of my daughter from the Artem Baby Home near Vladivostok, Russia. Thursday, May 21, 2009. We are enjoying our time together this week and have managed to stay pretty busy. Last weekend we had a welcome home party for Tori. It was tons of fun and she had an amazing time meeting new family and friends. We had a bounce house with an attached slide and climbing area which she loved. The party started at 1:00 and was over at about 8:00 in the evening. Long day! I have had the flu or...

My journey of the adoption of my daughter from the Artem Baby Home near Vladivostok, Russia. Friday, January 1, 2010. Have I been bad about blogging, or what? It is so hard to believe Tori has been home for almost 8 months now. So much has happened since my last post. I will just give brief updates. And of course blew him kisses as we were leaving the office. Thanksgiving was very fun for Tori. We spent it with Grandpa and Grandma Jones. It was the first time family on their side had met Tori....I am ...

My journey of the adoption of my daughter from the Artem Baby Home near Vladivostok, Russia. Wednesday, August 24, 2011. I am reminded that last year for the first four weeks, we could not do this. I walked her to a teacher to hand her off because she would cry, yes for four weeks. It was so frustrating, but what really did not help with that is she would bring the other moms to tears as they stood outside the kindergarten gate seeing their children off. Oh my gosh!

My journey of the adoption of my daughter from the Artem Baby Home near Vladivostok, Russia. Thursday, August 27, 2009. Dylan went to Oklahoma for 12 days this past month to visit family. He really had such a great time and came home exhausted. I know this for sure because when he is over-tired he walks, talks, and does very strange things in his sleep! Tori is done with Dr. appointments for a while….I hope! She really is pretty amazing! Ready for her first day of preschool! Dylan and Tori Oklahoma style!

My journey of the adoption of my daughter from the Artem Baby Home near Vladivostok, Russia. Saturday, May 9, 2009. Coming home, the plane ride was really just fine. She was not afraid at all, just got a little cranky. I totally understand that because so did I. I still don’t feel caught up on my sleep yet and am ashamed to report, finally did the last of the unpacking tonight. She adores her brother! I mean adores him! And he adores her just the same! I told Dylan the only thing I was interested in for ...

My journey of the adoption of my daughter from the Artem Baby Home near Vladivostok, Russia. Wednesday, March 16, 2011. Mommy, you are my very, very, very BEST friend! It seems like it has been forever….I know, I know! Thinking back to the beginning, when I first brought Tori home, I do think in some ways I was her trauma. The transition was difficult at times for her and rightly so! I remember the drive home that night, to our house. She screamed and cried the entire way, all 50 minutes of the drive!
