Sofia had her first swim lesson at the YMCA yesterday. We just joined about a month ago and had to enter a lottery to be accepted into the class since the classes are relatively small. I did not expect that we would get in on the first try but we did. I was so happy….
Sorry it has been so long since the follow-up to my last post. My computer hit the skids this week and I just got it back yesterday. It made me realize how much I take my computer for granted. There were many great guesses as to what our surprise could be. The moving comments were…

Wow, congrats! That is so exciting for you all. And how exciting, a cruise! Lots is going on. Have a wonderful holiday!
I figured that was the surprise. Congrats to you!
Also congrats on the cruise! How much fun! Are you taking Sofia with? Sounds like the same or similar Southern Caribbean cruise that my BIL & SIL took last fall.
Pictures are really cute too!

I love your surprise and am so happy for you! Of course Sofia needs a little mei mei to go through life with.
I love her pictures with Santa. Eli was terrified of him too at that age.
Oops, I meant to say Hi Sophia, John and Jonni! LOL
Hi Sofia, I am very excited for all of you.
Congatualtions!
I keep trying to vote and it says “can not process request”! So I’ll pick my own vote ( : Drumroll……….Amelia. I love that name too but won’t need a second ): Hugs, Dale
cool on the new kid and I love the picture.
I always feel so sorry for the crying babies in these XMas pics – but now I’m feeling a little sad for the Santas. It must be rough for them to have such an impression on these wee kiddos.
Great and congrats!! Love the santa photos.

Love the shots of Sofia with Santa! I’m so excited that you and John are going to adopt again!! Shoot – it took me a year to change Terry’s heart – I don’t think he would every agree to adopt again after we finally bring Little T home!! That candid shot of her is beautiful.
Hugs!

YAY! Congratulations! That is awesome news. The way things are going, you could have another child home before we get the first one(sigh). But seriously, happy for you!
Hey Jonni!

Why does Santa scare kids so much? I am dreading taking Lilly, I know she will have the same reaction as Sofia, it’s one of those thing you have to do though. Congrats on #2! It will be so wonderful for Sofia to have a sister. Goos luck and I hope the process moves quickly for you all!
Love,
Michele & Lilly

Hugs and smiles, Jeannine

I was just thinking of you guys when I was putting up our tree. My mom had sent me some old ornaments from when I was growing up….there was a had made needle point one of the Swan Pond in Manlius (not sure if it is still there). Brought back memories.
Thanksgiving is always wonderful, but having Sofia home this year made it the best ever. She had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa S. and her Uncle Kyle and Cousin Nicholas (Nicky). Today, we went to my favorite restaurant on Long Island called the Milleridge Inn. The original restaurant was started in 1672! Of…
