We are pleased to announce that Kristina DeAnn has joined our family and makes us complete!!!
Internet access has just been made and now Kristina is wakening up from her nap. I will account for our last day in Ekaterinburg, picking up our daughter, and making the trek to Moscow as soon as she goes down to sleep tonight. That is, if I don't collapse first! Going from no children to a 2-year old sure is challenging but oh, the love....so rewarding!!!! (More pictures to come --- promise!)

She is as darling as I knew she would be. Funny--her sweet face didn't come as a surprise. I just thought, "Of course that's her!"
Rest up...and then blog away!
Wishing you all joy.
Woo-hoo - let the games begin!! Can't wait for the Johnson5 to meet the Deary3. Love to you all, and safe journey home.

Congratulations! She is soooo cute! I love her sweet little expression, and her chubby little hands! Enjoy the rest of your trip - we love following your story.
She is absolutely beautiful!
Wow! She is one gorgeous little girlie!
How do you feel about arranged marriages? :)
HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to your sweet family!
Jocelyn (and Henry too!!)
Oh my gush! How beautiful. Can she get any cuter? You must be so happy, exhausted, and so much more. I love the dress. I bet you can't wait to dress her in those cute girl clothes! Congrats!
Melissa
What a beauiful little girl! Congradulations to all three of you!
Congratulations! She's the sweetest thing!
Gorgeous! Godspeed. I'm so happy for you. Can't wait to hear about what Kristina thinks of all the changes.
Love, Karen Z
Congratulations...and yes it is quite a challenging transition so quickly (remember the door?!)... but it get easier. God bless the end of your journey Mom and Dad.
Hugs, kisses and tears (happy ones!!)
Dawn and Jeff
Congrats!! She's beautiful!!
Congratulations Deary Family! Try to sleep while she sleeps, if you can...Cant wait to meet her-God Bless!
She is absolutely angelic. Congratulations!
Obviously she is as cute as a button, but I think I can detect a little bit of spiritedness as well(hehe). Might be because I have an almost two year old angelic spirited little one, and Laura and I are close to the same age. She will bring you MORE happiness than you ever thought possible, and you will wonder what ever mattered before her BUT you will also feel your years at times (ha). ENJOY every wonderful second, and I cannot wait to meet her in person which WILL happen. Us BC girls need to get all our miracles together again - we've just been waiting for Kristina.
Congratulations to the Deary Family and a big welcome to Kristina DeAnn on to our Family Tree. (Have just checked with your Dad Laura to see if he has updated it yet!) These Fifers are so happy for you all and have a good journey home at the weekend.

I'm so thrilled for you guys. She is an absolute cutie :)
Hugs to you - cm
Oooh, yes! A picture of your darling daughter!! She is beautiful and looks so cute in her first picture of her face on your blog! She looks great! I love the photos you shared at the Russian Christmas Dinner, but she looks like she is so happy and content now with you and JD for her Momma and Papa!! Love you all, Donna
She is just as ADORABLE as I imagined she would be! Oh, how I remember those first few days. Enjoy making precious memories!
Laura...I just read your Mother's Day post, and then the letter to your husband, and now the big photo! She's yours! You're a new family! I'm so happy for you...tears are flowing. God bless all of you, and have a safe trip home. Raise the SOS flag whenever you need help or support or and friendly ear!
Congratulations!
Love, Danica (Drhedgehog from BBC)
