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 6 - Red Square

Hello Everyone - We had a great day today that started off with laughter at 650am and then off to breakfast. After breakfast we played with Logan while German and Marina went to run some errands. When they returned we got ready and headed off to Red Square to get some pictures with Logan so that when he gets older we can show him a little bit about his country. It was off to downtown Moscow with a few short stops for German so that he could get his Indy 500 race car serviced. Then we arrived at the Red Square and it was beautiful - all of the old time architecture it is just amazing. Then we walked around and took numerous pictures with the Little Man and got a once in a life time opportunity to see the Changing of the Guards in Red Square (same as what they do in DC at the Tomb of the Unknown). Then we hurried back to the car because the temperture start to drop a little and it started to sprinkle. We left Red Square at mock speed and stopped by a mall/grocery store so that Marina could get our dinner for this evening (delicious trout) and then back to German and Marina's to feed little man and get him to bed. After Nicole put him down we went and had another great dinner and got to watch a Russian Comedy on TV. Then we were asked if we wanted some Russian Ice Cream which being Irish and from the United States couldn't turn that down. It was really good it came out of a tube instead of a container. Then we departed back to the room to check the VT score and update the blog for day 6. Stay tune for tomorrow when we take Logan to his first incounter at the souvenior market. Cant wait to see you all on Friday Afternoon. Miss you lots and love you all.

Love
Dennis, Nikki, and Logan
