Home has always been where my boys are and as of last week, that officially became our new house in Washington! I received my immigrant visa, got the stamp, and now am a U.S. resident. Which also means I can accept work down here; oh so grateful and excited for new opportunities! A long and, at times, trying journey has ended and a new chapter is already beginning. We owe a heart felt thank you to my parents for letting us call their place (our second) home during the in between time. It was actually pretty sweet to be able to share that time with them and watch Zaya’s bond with Grandma and Grandpa grow. But now that we’re home full time, we’re hoping everyone will get a little more rest throughout the night!
I had been talking for months about having family photos taken around our place, and this past weekend seemed the perfect time…Thanks to my sister for taking these of us. I’ll often set up the camera settings and the shot, but after all the experience she’s had doing this with us, Whitney, maybe there’s potential for a career shift? ;)
