Bringing Home Sam: April 2008
http://bringinghomesam.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
The Russell family's journey to their new family member. Saturday, April 26, 2008. I hear the laughs from all of you who have been or are currently on this Vietnam adoption journey.). In any case, Sam is there and waiting on us. We believe God wants him to be part of our family. We feel as if we've done what we can to make that happen, and we've gotta pass the details and timeline off to God. (I hear God saying, "Well, FINALLY."). Tuesday, April 15, 2008. We're at Step 12! On the US government side of th...

The Russell family's journey to their new family member. Thursday, February 28, 2008. We were at Step 8 right before Tet. We're still there.

Then, look out, visa applications. Sam, buddy,we're trying to get there. Sunday, February 24, 2008. Hopefully good news this week! Friday, February 8, 2008. Well, this we...

Bringing Home Sam: More Hanoi, more Mexican food hallucinations...
http://bringinghomesam.blogspot.com/2008/06/more-hanoi-more-mexican-food.html
The Russell family's journey to their new family member. Wednesday, June 25, 2008. More Hanoi, more Mexican food hallucinations. It tastes ok, but why do I have to keep my milk in the fridge at home? We later discovered a very clean supermarket in the same building as our hotel later. Ah well. Rick Steves would have been proud of us. We had a pleasant morning with another Conway connection! All things look good for our departure here on Friday night! So glad that you'll be heading home soon. Looking ...

Bringing Home Sam: July 2008
http://bringinghomesam.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
The Russell family's journey to their new family member. Saturday, July 12, 2008. Sam is carving out his niche in our family and our hearts. He continues to be a mostly happy/giggly little peanut, taking in new experiences with enthusiasm, taking in food with much the same enthusiasm. This week we visited our friends who have a farm, and he and Zoe had a great time playing with the little chickens, kittens, and horse (did I mention it's a growing horse farm? How cool is that?

Friday, April 4, 2008. But oh, how time flies. Wow, time sure does fly. and in baby days, what a difference each and every moment makes! Izzy is such a pleasure! She really is such a gift. We just returned from a ten day trip to visit grandma and pa (and Bac Doo (her Aunt Debbie) joined us) in Arizona to help Grandma recuperate from some surgery. Grandma is doing just great and Izzy provided lots of kisses (she literally puckers up and makes a kissing sound - see pic below). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Russell family's journey to their new family member. Thursday, March 27, 2008. Some more new pics. That's Sam on the left, obviously. He has his buddy Joseph with him in the pics (who happened to turn 2 today. Happy Birthday, Joseph! Brian is particularly thrilled to see that Sam is totally secure with his masculinity, since he appears to be wearing rather feminine pink hearts-and-flowers pants without any self consciousness. ha. Monday, March 24, 2008. Easter: the season for miracles! We are hoping ...
