Oh, I love these. I am also jealous of your exotic travels. :) Thanks for sharing!!
Love, love, love the photos. What fun times you guys have. Fingers crossed for THE CALL soon.

Love the pictures. You two are going to be amazingingly fun and wonderful parents. Week 15/16 was the hardest week for me...but then ta-da! The call came when I least expected it. Hang in there....it's coming soon!!!!!!
Any minute, I think it is. LOVE the photos! Can't wait to find out who your little guy is, and hopefully I'll have some pics for you. :)
Love the pics! You guys are some serious world travelers. :)
Ditto what I said on Grace's blog, this is a bummer week as there was no referral on the FBI list. Keeping my fingers crossed that next week is your week, and Grace's.

I love random photos. They make the world smaller.
