Other than the reunion, we spent the month of August with lots of family birthday parties, days at the pool, a day trip to the beach and so much more! Roman LOVED the beach...it was his first time seeing the ocean or a beach and he had so much fun! He was non-stop for hours until he finally crashed on the blanket! What fun it was watching him running everywhere!! He was so cute...I have never seen so much sand on a child!

Other news!! Roman's picture is in the magazine, "Adoptive Families" this month! It is featured on the "Family Photo Album" pages. Here is the photo that is printed...it is Roman admiring his Papa Tack's tomato plants during his Grandma Joann's 70th birthday party celebration! Roman's Aunt Penny took the photo. I had entered the photo in a contest and then forgot about it...the contest has not been judged yet and the photo could still win, but the editor decided to publish the photo now because it was so cute :) I did not even know it was in the magazine until a fellow blogger and future adoptive parent, Debbie, sent me a comment. Thanks Debbie!!
