Hello everyone!

Two little treats!

Enjoying the weather

Summer Fun!

Ethan's first trip to the zoo

A hot and humid (not even a breeze) day at the zoo.

What a blessing!

Ethan has now been home for 26 days. He has gone from barely crawling to crawling all over the house. His favorite toy is his jumper as he will jump until he falls asleep. We normally put him in his crib around 8pm and he always sleeps through the night. Our six year old daughter Logan has become a second mother to him. She wants to be by his side constantly and will even change his diaper.

Last day in Moscow-Homeward bound

,
Logan, way to go! Mom and Dad cannot wait to see you ride your bike and go bike riding with you.

We received Ethans Visa today which clears us for travel to the U.S. tomorrow. We have enjoyed our stay in Moscow but we miss our family very much and are ready to get home. We are excited for Ethan to meet our girls and the rest of the family, I know they are extremely excited to meet him.
Logan, get your room ready as you will have a new baby brother to share it with on Friday. Christian, please baby proof your room(pick up the thousands of things off of your floor) as Ethan is very curious and we are sure he will want the grand tour.

I would like to send out a special thanks to Michelle's sister, Sandra, who has played live in mommy to Christian and Logan the last two weeks. She accomplished something we were not able to do, teach Logan to ride her bike. Most importantly she took extremely good care of our family and 3 chihuahuas.
I would also like to thank mommy Pat as she has been with us every step of the way providing any type of support we've needed.
To my staff at the hotel, thanks for your support and hard work in my absence but the parties almost over:)
We appreciate everyone who has followed our journey to adopt Ethan. This is a very special time for us and it will surely only get better.
