Texas Is Now 2 Words

Max and Mikayla spent their first Gotcha Day together, therefore they will spend them together always well, with weather and travel permitting. If you don't know the history these two have, here it is in a nutshell:

I met Mikayla's parents on a flight to Moscow. We learned then we were going to the same region (our agency never let either of us know.) We went to Vlad together on trip 1. We went to the MOE together and met our children and learned they were only a few weeks apart in age. This was neat because they asked for 4 and under and I said 3 and under. We waited the excruciating 17 weeks for a court date together, only to find out our court hearings were one hour apart. We received custody on the same day. We spent a week in Moscow together.

Here they are in Moscow last year...



They were very comforted by each other on that journey. They were with people they didn't know so having each other was very bonding. Guess what they remembered each other. Max now says "Mikayla's from Russia but lives in Texas YeeHaw (thanks Cliff) but Max only lives in "merica" meaning America. I guess South Carolina is too much right now. So, every time someone asks "where were you this week" Max answers "Texas YeeHaw"

Here they are a year later... Wow they have changed.
