We've come so far since that day...

Five years ago today we became parents for the first time. We were smack dab in the middle of Siberia when the judge declared us parents of a little blonde haired boy that we wouldn't be able to hold in our arms until the next morning. We celebrated by going to eat pizza with friends who also became parents that day. Oh the memories... I got out our old pictures of our time in Russia on our 2nd trip. Here are a few of C back then, including our first ever family picture :)

Last night in Russia at the Hard Rock Moscow

I'm home!!!!

And our BIG boy five years later. I know everyone says this, but I need to find some bricks to tie on his head. He is growing too fast!!! He is just a little over a foot shorter than me and he's only in kindergarten!! C chose his favorite restaurant to eat at tonight to celebrate. In these pictures he is chowing down on some celebratory molten chocolate lava cake. Mmmmmm

He is definitely one of a kind. He has my heart for sure. He loves telling his momma that he loves her ,too! I hear "I just want to hug you, mom" at least once a day. It doesn't get any better than that.
