This past week was pretty special. On Tuesday, January 25, it was the 1 year anniversary of meeting our sweet daughter Nina. Back then, she was a quiet, calm and shy 9.5 month old baby. Today, this girl is babbling like crazy, laughing all the time at Diego's silly faces, getting excited when she sees her daddy and is just full of life! She is totally crazy about her potato heads, hats and helmets, and buckling and unbuckling things!
Then on Friday, January 28, it was 3 years since we met Diego for the very first time. Remember that Diego is from the Moscow Region and we flew to Russia without having a picture or any info about him. He was so little, so shy, and with some powerful, however sad, eyes. Our journey together as a family was not always easy, and we had to work very hard on gaining his trust and helping him attach to us, but now I could not imagine my life without him. He is the friendliest, silliest and cutest boy to me and now his eyes are full of joy!
Cheers to my children and thanks to God for making them such an important part of my life!

They are both precious! I can't believe how quickly the 3 years have passed.
what a great post -- they are gorgeous and thriving and clearly loving where they are -- while it's clear you are a "celebrate each day for what it can bring" person, what a week to celebrate extra :)
Such cuties! I love to see kids thriving!
