Our family...now and then


So, on the left...is us the first day we met Roman in Kaliningrad, Russia...in March 2006.

And, on the right is our happy family in late July 2006...I can't believe how much Roman has changed. He doesnt even look like the same little boy. Amazing what a lot of love, sunshine, good food, laughs, hugs & smiles can do :)

God, I love this child!!
He lights up my life...fills my world
with sunshine, smiles & happiness.
His laugh is enough to brighten my day
and his snuggles at bedtime are
pure joy!! I can't even remember
my life without Roman in it.

Cutest little boy ever!!
So, now that Roman has started walking...he is now running all over the place. Well, more like walking really fast until he trips and falls down. Then, he just laughs and does it all over agin :)

And...did I mention the talking? Yep...not only does my son understand what we say to him, he is saying a few words--cat, hot, bye, hi, daddy, mama. And, boy does he know his cousin, Haylee's name....it kind of comes out like HAAALYLEE!!

He loves everyone and everything...kisses & hugs aplenty :) Of course, he tried to tackle the cats...but he loves them!!

He had his first sleepover at Grandma & Grandpa Lins' house this past weekend and it went great! I am telling you...the kid is amazing!!

And...his first "roller coaster" ride...he liked it at first :)
