The Pitman's Journey To Russia

Our journey to adopt three beautiful children from Vladivostok, Russia

Thursday, February 19, 2009











These are pictures from the kids Baptism on Valentine's Day (easy for everyone to remember). Everything went wonderful and it was a beautiful service. The kids are doing great. We have had three school days now that Olivia has not cried (Yeah!!). I have to apologize because Heather Overstreet tagged me for a book tag but I have to be honest, I have not read a book since we have been home! I am still trying to get used to the whole "Mom" thing. It has really been hard for me. I feel guilty sometimes because I wanted children so bad but their are days now that I wish I worked outside the house. I am with at least one of them if not two or all three 24/7 and it is wearing me out. Eric works everyday (even weekends) almost all day so I usually do not have the break when Dad gets home. These feelings aside, I am so grateful to be blessed with three beautiful and healthy children. Olivia does not cry when it is time to go to sleep (unless I make her take a nap) and AJ goes into his room and goes to sleep without any problems and he does not rock himself to sleep. Max will have to have some oral surgery because his teeth are in bad shape but otherwise is healthy and happy. It was so cute, a couple of weeks ago a Mom at school stopped me and told me her daughter had a crush on Max.
It will be really nice when we can communicate more in English though.
