Hello again, Monique, Christian and Mrs. Robichaud!
Oh My Goodness...they are simply breathtaking! And I just love that Avery is giving two thumbs up! She clearly knows that she and her brother are just where they are meant to be....with you, of course! Best wishes at the smooth sailing at the embassy appointment too.
Love to all! xoxo
It's killing me, I just want to reach out and hug and kiss your twins all over!!! I love it.

OH...I am sitting here crying my eyes out for so many reasons: 1-because I can remember every single thing you are doing, how it felt to do it with OUR TWINS 6 months ago. I thought the care givers would never bring our twins back but when they did, in those cute outfits, my heart broke. And I remember hunting down the special babies to deliver care packages. How incredible it felt to love on them for their parents...can't really describe that feeling but it's huge isn't it?
2- because I am just so happy for you guys--all 6 of you.
3- there is just something about twins isn't there? I can't see a twin referral without getting all weepie.
4- I miss Addis. I miss our driver, Solomon. I miss Belay. I miss the baby houses. Ethiopia grabs you so be prepared.
Safe travels home (be sure and take advantage of the free strollers in the Dubai airport--if you can't find one ASK! And reconfirm your bassinets every chance you get!)
