I love them!  I was beyond thrilled to photograph this family once more.  Okay, yep, Morgan and I are buds, and have been for years (and years).  This session was a little more special than usual with them.  It's the first session with their youngest.  Oh, how we've all waited for her.  I think that Morgan and Curt started the adoption process about the time I found out I was pregnant with Ada....who is about 17 months now.  That's a long time to wait to meet someone.  This past December their youngest little girl finally officially joined the family.  I must tell you that watching this process was something awesome.  To know that somewhere in Russia their daughter was waiting.  Following their journey on the blog...paperwork...lots of paperwork, fundraising...lots of fundraising, hearing how much they longed for her to be home. Then to be able to finally see her face as they visited the first time...my heart filled over with happiness.  We watched the videos....Ada loved watching Nastia play with playdoh.  The second time they went over, which was when they got to bring her home, there was one video of her playing with Curt saying "silly papa"...we loved that.  In fact, Jeff still randomly says "silly papa" in his best Russian accent.  I'm so glad she is home with the family God intended for her.  She is so loved!  Each one of these people are precious to me.  I got to say it again....I love them!  Without further ado....The Hanna six:

My goodness how time flies.  It seems like only a couple of years ago when I was keeping Brooks when he was about three months old.  Without my experience with this little guy I don't know if I would've been much good during Ada's infant stage.  Brooks is awesome!

Guess what...I babysat this guy too..when he was about Ada's age.  He was (is?) a rascal...a wonderful rascal.  I said then that I hoped my child would have a personality as big as his...they say be careful what you wish for.  Ada reminds me a lot of this fellow.  This first picture is just a warning to any boy that tries to date his sisters.  Luke is spectacular!

Campbell was my flower girl when she couldn't walk.  Part of the ceremony she sat on my dress....and tooted, fine by me.  Ada loves her!  At the fall festival we went to, Ada was so taken by Campbell.  Everything she did, Ada wanted to do.  I loved to here her giggle, then Ada do the same.  Campbell is sweet!

This is Nastia!  Aren't those brown eyes killer?  She is darling.  She was a great model.  I'm so happy that she is doing so well.  I'm overjoyed that she is part of the Hanna Family.  Praise God!  My guess is Ada will be entranced by her as well.  I can't wait to get to know her!

I love this look!

  

Seriously...those brown eyes!
