MICHELE AND GALINA

Dear Sonia and Laura

I can't believe it has been over 3 months already since I came home from St Petersburg with Galya! It's just crazy how time flies. I've thought of you often and have been meaning to drop you a note, but as you can imagine, life has been crazy and my focus has been on my munchkin. Galya is a wonderful little girl- perfect, whole and complete in every way. I feel so very blessed to have her in my life. I don't know how you all go about matching children with parents... but whatever you are doing, it works.

She is growing, learning and thriving- running everywhere, has 5 teeth, dances, loves to eat and is beginning to talk, babbling constantly. Anyhow- I wanted to say hello and thank you again for EVERYTHING. I just started back to work last week after 3 months off... I am so glad I took that time. Going back has been the hardest thing I have ever done- she loves her "school," though and seems to be thriving. I miss her like crazy.

Hope you are well and I hope to get out to P-burgh one of these days to see you!

Thanks again!

Michele
