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."

(Belated) Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Here's to wishing you a (belated) Merry Christmas & a wonderful, prosperous New Year!! More to come... :)
fyi...I met a little boy last week that looks JUST like Iliya. It was all I could do to call him by his name. So I spent a good bit of time praying for your family while I was hanging with this little boy.
What a neat milestone for you guys. I hope you are able to do something special to commemorate it. Your card was superb. I am working it into my 'Christmas pictures from friends and families' collage to frame in our family room for the year. It will be nice to see your faces smiling back at us!
"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."
~Fred Rogers
"I'll love you forever I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living My baby you'll be."

"Beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad, but its the middle that counts the most. Try to remember that when you find yourself at a new beginning"

"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."

Merry Christmas!
