We may or may not ever be able to make an announcement that "we're pregnant"...but we have come to understand that the blessing is the fact that however parenthood happens, it is a miracle! ....... Now we have been home with our precious blessing from Russia since August 2007. Join us on our fun and crazy ride that we call "life with this child of mine."

on our way
We have to be at the surgery center by 7:30 this morning. We are currently on the road and should be headed back home in a couple hours. I will update when I can. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers today!!
you are all in my prayers... praying for a smooth procedure. keep us updated on how you are doing! I don't know if I posted a comment or not but I really loved the barrel of monkeys game video. That was just so cute!
Ya big ol' meanies. Po' lil' Iilya! Dan wants to be a meanie to Dima too but I'm not convinced of the necessity at this point! Immunizations are traumatic enough to leave me and Deemoochkah shook up for the rest of the day. I can't imagine anything more involved than that at this point. It will be good to hear if Iilya still loves ya'll - that may give me courage. I don't know though... At any rate, glad things went smoothly.
"When I was very young, most of my childhood heroes wore capes, flew through the air,
or picked up buildings with one arm. They were spectacular and got a lot of attention.
But as I grew, my heroes changed, so that now I can honestly say that anyone who does
anything to help a child is a hero to me."

"The real issue in life is not how many blessings we have, but what we do with our blessings. Some people have many blessings and hoard them. Some have few and give everything away."

At any rate, glad things went smoothly.
