Here it is, the kids' first Christmas in the US!

Things are already changing, Little Boy can already walk better than he did when they arrived. He's got quite the little temper and is rarely pleased with anyone. If you can get a smile out of him, it's a big deal! He just wants to be left alone, but that's not what family is for! :p I enjoy him a lot, he has quite the personality :)

Little Girl is the definition of the word "charmer". She just loves everyone, and is adorable and knows it! She wants to be carried around all the time though she can walk just fine, and the only time I've seen her upset is when someone refuses to pick her up! To my inexperienced eyes, she seems to be the most developmentally on track of the three, although Little Boy is the closest to being potty trained.

Big Girl is quite photogenic as well and is learning to pose for the camera :p She's so much more calm than when they first arrived. The first time I saw her, she pulled my hair, hard! She used to do that with everyone. Now, she loves to touch my hair, play with it, but I have no fear of it being pulled :) she's such a sweetheart.



Playing with her new dolls!



He was enjoying some alone time before I came along with a camera, what a mean big sister I am!



A bunch of new toys, and she wants to play with the box, what a kid! :rofl1:

Watching the bigger people handle the food prep



Hmm, could this be his first time seeing a slinky?



Christmas is a time for joy!



Not for me, she's in my space!


And the Christmas gift that my family gave themselves:



He doesn't have a name yet



Supposedly he's 11 weeks old and is a golden retriever X border collie





That's it, I hope you all had a great Christmas! :D

Oh yes, life is very different now! They get a lot of attention, which the girls love, but Little Boy feels like he could do without it. Renee, "brave" is the right word, lol! They had a great day, got lots of new toys, and loved Christmas dinner. They even got some Martinelli's with dinner, yay! :D

Oh my! Your parents have much more energy than me! LOL, 3 new kids and a new puppy all at once? :eek: Ah maybe that will keep them young though eh?

Looks like a grand time for all!

These pictures brought tears to my eyes and a smile to my face. Your family is wonderful to give these beautiful children a life of happiness in a world that is often cruel to those who are different.

The light in their eyes was evident even in pictures.

This is what Christmas is about. :)

lol, they're loving the craziness of it!

I definitely agree :)

From the size (and look) of that pup, I have to wonder if a Newfie didn't sneak in there somewhere, lol.
That's what my mom's thinking too. I'm suprised at how big his paws are!
