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."

Video Goodness
So here's a video for you. Are you shocked? I am!
I finally decided that it was time for you to get another glimpse into our evenings. In this video, Iliya is really showing out for the camera - he is typically not quite this wild...and the "boy" goofiness is usually spread out over an evening (as opposed to being concentrated into 10 minutes of camera time). I think you'll see what I mean. Oh - and I should say that I had considered subtitles to make sure you get everything he says...but I'm fairly certain you'll get most of it - if not by outright understanding, then through context. And there is one part where he keeps talking about something hurting...hang with the video and you'll finally get it.
I'm almost afraid to post this, to give you such a close look behind closed doors...but I guess I have no shame, anymore. And because Iliya really makes us laugh, I thought it would be nice to share this with you with the hope this will brighten your day & weekend, too. If no one else finds it fun, at least our families will!

My mad editing skills are not at work, as you can see...but I figure it's better to give you a fairly raw video, as opposed to just thinking about giving you one that is nicely edited and pretty. Right?
And the people said, "yes!........get on with it!"
So here you go. Enjoy!

Quotes
"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." ~Robert Munsch
"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" ~Hope Floats "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle"
~Fleur Conkling Heylinger
"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."
