First Halloween...

Well, I know that it is not officially Halloween yet, but we went to 2 different family Halloween parties this weekend, so I thought I would share...

For the first one at the International Adoption Center, we just threw together our costumes...when in doubt, go for Hokie football player look-a-likes...


For the 2nd party of the weekend which was hosted by the company I work for...our annual picnic with a Halloween theme...

We were supposed to go as "The Chronicles of Narnia"...you know, The Lion The Witch & The Wardrobe...but, we didnt quite get the wardrobe costume done, so alas, it was just Roman the friendly Lion :) Roman won the $25 prize for "Funniest Costume"!! You will have to wait until after Halloween to see Andrew dressed as the wardrobe :)

HAPPY FALL EVERYONE!!!

Introducing..."The Russian Roman"
















On the left is Roman in May of 2006 after we first brought him home...
on the right is Roman now with his first real boo-boo on his forehead.


You may have noticed the new design on our adoption journey blog...well, it's because they journey is over and life with "The Russian Roman" has just begun!!

I will try to keep this updated as often as possible with photos and stories of the active toddler...and hope to figure out the logistics of the left column soon.
The grass is an appropriate picture for the header because he is growing so fast (see pics above)!! He is just shooting up so tall!!

So many thanks to my friend, Elle...who along with parenting her own newly adopted Russian toddler, found the time to create this for me!!

Enjoy and please keep the comments coming...I love to read them all!!!

Dr. Roman Seuss...
My friend, Elle had the perfect description for Roman in this photo...
He looks like a Dr. Seuss character in his new pajamas!!
These are 24 months and already almost too small.
The boy is growing like a weed!!
