Psalm 68:5-6

A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.

God sets the lonely in families, he leads forth the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.

I am Stepanie Nance. My family adopted two little boys with Down Syndrome from Ukraine in 2010. I hope to educate and to inspire you. I hope to make you laugh and to make you cry.

Come along for the ride. It's a wild one!

yawn...

We have been having a lovely boring week here. No doctor appointments. No weight checks. No school programs. Ahhhhh.

The laundry got done. And folded. And put away!! The floor got mopped. Some neglected paperwork got done. Oh, there's more to do. I'm fairly far behind around here. It's going to take some time.

The boys are fitting into our family so well. Ruby thinks that they are here for her entertainment. Her and Zhen have a great time at lunch. He's learning to trust her. She's learning to share with him. It's beautiful!

I thought that Zhen and Ralph would be great buddies, but Zhen is closer in size and development to Ruby.

Zhen and Ralph had great fun the other day messing up Rose's bed.

Theo is doing a lot more of this lately!
He has not gained any weight in the past two week. So disappointing.
Theo still hasn't started his medication yet, though. I'm going to wait a few weeks to get worried. Right now I'm just enjoying him. He's so fun. Sometimes he looks so much like his photos from two years ago that I catch my breath. You see, I loved the idea of Theo before I even met him. He's a dream come true.

    love this. when I see pics of Zhen looking like Zhenya I feel the same just didnt' know how to word it. ;-)
    Zhen really has so many different looks just as you have said.

  3. I know exactly what you mean, there are times when I get a glimpse of the Artiom that I dreamed about for so long...the more babyish little boy from his earlier pictures. It's special to us since we weren't really there with him at that time, I guess :)
