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."

More Wizard of Oz
During the month of October, I got this bright idea to put out little Halloween treats for Iliya to find at the breakfast table when he wakes up. The treats are nothing special - just little things for him to find, so he can enjoy Halloween all month.
Friday morning's treat was a little witch hat I had found at T@rget...given his enjoyment of the W1zard of 0z, I thought he might find the hat fun to play with.
And wouldn't you know it...I was right!
The audio/video are a little off, but I thought it was a cute video nonetheless.
"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."
