January 30th...Gotcha Day!

Our little rock star!

Lately, I've not done well with posting updates to the blog. I guess the winter months don't inspire me much! Lilyana and Max have kept us busy though with a number of things. Max earned his green belt! He's loving Tae Kwon Do! :) We celebrated Lilyana's Gotcha Day. We are so thankful for her. What can we say? She's our Bug! :) They both keep us laughing while they seem to grow up overnight. So...here's some highlights of the past weeks. :)

Dear Max,

Max,

Twelve years ago, God blessed us with an amazing gift. I'm not quite sure how it happened, but you, our precious baby boy, are growing into this incredible young man. We are so proud of you!

Your birthday seems to always land on President's weekend, so of course it takes the whole weekend to party! :) To celebrate your birthday this year, we granted your every wish. This year these included a boys' day adventure to Crazy Bounce, Bowling, Swimming, and Iceberging. You guys sure tuckered out your Dad who did quite an impressive job of keeping up with you all. :) Later in the weekend we enjoyed a movie that you and I had been very anxious to see. And tonight, I'm looking back at twelve years of joy, laughter, learning, pride, excitement, and most of all love. I can't wait to see what God has in store for you sweetie. I know that His plans are great. We love you so much buddy...Happy Birthday!

Love you more!

Mom
