Remember how I was talking about raising my blog game? Well, the content may be the same... but wow, look at this new Elle design!

I've known Elle since December 2005. I was a lurker to her blog at first, but sometime soon after was outed and quickly became a faithful reader. Since we weren't starting our adoption until Fall 2006, the first few months in the Russian blog circle I really felt like a PAP-wannabe. But she, along with some of the other cool gals you know and love, always made me feel welcome and willing to share their full experiences with me. I think our adoption is 100 times easier because of them. I feel very fortunate to have you as part of this journey.

Thanks Elle, love it!

ps. The cartoons above are really Thani and Yoshi!
