Wow, has it already been one year since we sat in the orphanage director's office and she said thru the translator, "now we will bring in three children for you to chose from..." In walked the little boy whose photo we had seen before, but he was so small!
That's how Nicholas Peter Holland entered our lives. The first thing he asked when we drove out of the orphanage weeks and weeks later was, "will Daddy get a doggie for me?" I answered, something like "sabatchka when you learn Angliski." Doggie when you learn English. Well, he's grown, from a 2T to a 4T, and is completely fluent in English. Katrina persuaded us to get a dog and well, it coincided with Nicky mastering English... so this is Travis, a one-year old puggle (pug and beagle mix) that we found at a doggie orphanage. He is darling and now I know why little boys and puppies go together like peas and carrots.

Dearest Hollands, what an amazing journey this past year! It´s like Nicky and you were made for each other, it just took some time for you to meet. Tia looks so happy with her cutey nephew. Love to all of you, and I really look forward to getting the cousins together and finally meeting Nicky. Rae
He is so cute and he looks so happy! Stephanie, I was the one emailing and trying to connect by phone, but everything is so busy with you and with me. We've decided to take the 'plunge' and start the adoption process. I'm excited, scared, nervous all at once and I keep thinking about a little boy in Kazakhstan who needs a home. Katherine
