Awesome Anastasia


"Hi! My name is Anastasia and I am 9 years old. I want to be a veterinarian when I grow up. I like to ride my bike and go swimming the most. My best subjects at school are reading and science. I love animals alot. I help my mom take care of our pets. I promise to be a very good big sister to your baby and love the baby a lot. "


Anastasia is our sweet biological daughter.  She likes to write stories and poems and she also likes gymnastics. We were really proud when she got straight A's last year!


Anastasia is very creative and is always thinking up projects for her and her sisters to do.



Anastasia loves animals, all animals. She will even rescue worms after a rainstorm. 






Anastasia tends to be the leader of the sisters, though not in a bossy way. She just seems to have ideas that everyone thinks are fun! 



She decorated this cake herself for 4th of July! 


Here is Anastasia at her first communion. 


Christmas stockings! 


Sometimes we have nailpolish painting parties.


This is Anastasia and Victoria in the hospital when we first came home from Ukraine. She is a wonderful big sister and is very responsible.


We are at the hospital in this picture too. We all stayed in the room with the babies for a week. We brought in our own air mattress! This picture was taken at 5 am because the babies weren't sleeping.


Making a volcano and also making a mess! 


Gotta love girls in pigtails! 


Anastasia and Catherine share a bedroom. 


Anastasia loves to read, especially to the little ones. 


Now everyone is joining in! 


Our Sweet girl! 


Fun times with our friend.


Anastasia can always get a smile out of anyone.


Anastasia and her peanut butter playdough cat. Yum! 










The girls at gymnastics. 


Anastasia loves her stuffed animals. She has so many on her bed, sometimes we can hardly see her. Here is made a vet clinic for her stuffies.


Writing is more fun when you have a friend to cuddle with. 


This is very early in the morning on Catherine's birthday. Catherine was hoping to sleep late, but Anastasia had other plans! 


She had to wake me up early to give me my birthday present - oven mitts! She didn't want me to burn my hands.


Anastasia knew how much her mom likes to get mail, so she stuck a card in the mailbox to surprise her.



Such a patient dog! 


Anastasia's first day of 4th grade. 


Having dinner with Grandma and a friend. 


Doing a science experiment.






Anastasia is quite the builder!
