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 11 - Logan's First Birthday

Well, we started off the morning early at 545am... Logan was ready to celebrate his birthday with us so he could not wait. We hung out today and started getting ready for our journey home to meet all of our family and friends. Dennis went to the monastery to pick up a relic of Logan's patron Saint (St. Igor). Dennis got back and we had a birthday lunch for Logan which included a cake. After lunch Logan only took a 45 min nap, due to the numerous amounts of sugar in his body from the cake. We made it through the day and now are ready to come home to the GOOD OLD USA.... We hope to see alot of you tomorrow at the Airport at 3pm.

Love you all....

Happy Birthday, Logan! What a blessing that you got to celebrate his first birthday together.

Have a safe journey home and LOVE every second of the excitement of seeing family and friends after going through customs. Hopefully someone will videotape it for you --- it's a treasured moment!

Bon voyage,
Laura :)
