Life With Logan.....: Day 10

Legacy of an Adopted Child

"Once there were two women, who barely knew each other. One is in your heart forever, the other you'll call mother. Two different lives, shaped to make yours one. One became your guiding star, the other became your sun. The first gave you life, and the second taught you how to live it. The first gave you a need for love, and the second was there to give it. One gave you nationality, the other gave you a name. One gave you the seed of talent, the other gave you an aim. One gave you emotions, the other calmed your fears. One saw your first sweet smile, the other dried your tears. One gave you a family, it was what God intended for her to do. The other prayed for a child, and God led her straight to you. And now you ask me, through your tears, the age old question through the years. Heredity or environment....which are you a product of? Neither my darling...neither, just two different kinds of love". - Unknown

Day 10 - Play Day

We had another nice day together as a family. The weather was BEAUTIFUL today so we actually went out and walked around and into a couple of the malls. Logan fell asleep about 15 minutes into the walk, so that replaced his afternoon nap. We got a chance to spend some time with the other family who arrived last night and Logan and their son, Aleks, played together this afternoon - and shared their toys very nicely! We are counting down the hours before we board the plane home - tomorrow we will celebrate Logan's 1st birthday. We are going to go to a monastery in the morning and pick up a souvenier of his baptismal saint (he was baptized in the Russian Orthodox Church) and then hang out and pack the rest of the afternoon. We hope to see many of you when we come home Friday afternoon. WE CAN'T WAIT!!!!!
