Happy Thanksgiving

It is hard to believe that this time last year we had just received our referral for Katerina. We would find out just after Thanksgiving that we would be traveling the week before Christmas, returning home on Christmas day (Worst travel story ever for us - we got stuck in the Ukraine and did not return home until the 26th but that is a different story).

It made both Thanksgiving and Christmas last year a little less important than normal; almost lost holidays for us. Now this Thanksgiving we get to have our first together as a full family. We have a lot to be thankful for, but without comparison our beautiful little girl is a top that list. Katerina has made all holidays seem a little more grand and important since she came home in March.

So I just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to family and friends and especially those who followed our travels and have given us input both on parenting and the adoption process. Without all of you this little family would not be in the position it is in today.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE.
