Yeah, I led with a cute picture, just so you'd pay attention. But I did it for a reason.
We're sending letters and pictures to Elena. This is in part to let her know what to expect, as much as a two-year-old can. But it's also in part to establish, formally and legally, that she'll be welcomed with open arms when she comes home. The Russian courts want to know that. Seriously.
But it would be even better if the Russian courts knew that a lot of people would welcome Elena with open arms when she comes home. Also seriously. That's where you come in.
If you have a moment, email us (or mail us if you want) a picture of you and/or your family and we'll print it out and send it to Elena. Doesn't matter who you are--grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, second-cousins-twice-removed, friends, or honorary relatives--if you're reading this blog, and you're ready to welcome Elena when she comes home, you're invited.
Pictures can be formal or informal, whatever's convenient. Two minor restrictions on the photos: please no pets (sorry dog-and-cat-lovers) and please no alcohol (sorry party-lovers). Both invite questions about shots of one kind or another, and the fewer questions the better.
Our email's in our profile.
Thanks.
