Spring is in full swing in Colorado, and we figured it was high time for both some bike rides and kite flying. Some friends of Lara’s had a used bike trailer that was perfect for Alex, and we splurged at the REI spring member’s sale for a “WeeHoo” for Evan. The WeeHoo is also a [...] . . . → Read More: Let’s Go Fly a Kite 
Evan had a pretty exciting day yesterday. He turned 4 years old, went to a friend’s birthday party at Pump It Up, came home to open his own presents, had an Easter egg hunt in the afternoon, and went out to dinner with a bunch from the neighborhood before coming home for birthday cake. Throw [...] . . . → Read More: Birthday and Bunnies 
We’ve had two more significant events in the last week. First, Grandpa Ashley and Grandma Barb came for a weekend visit. We had a pretty busy weekend, with trips to the Colorado train museum and the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. The weather was fantastic for mid March – 70 degrees and blue [...] . . . → Read More: Grandparents and Six Months 
What a week it has been. It started off with Alex’s birthday on Saturday. Thursday marked one year since we met Evan, and then Friday made it six months since we took the boys out of the Karachev Children’s home. It’s hard to keep track of all of this stuff! The one year mark isn’t quite [...] . . . → Read More: Milestones 
Today was Alex’s third birthday, and the first children’s birthday since we have come home. We started this morning fairly early, pretty typical for a Saturday. Evan woke first at 5:30. Luckily, he went back to sleep for about 45 minutes, giving us some precious shut eye. Both boys were up by 6:30, and immediately [...] . . . → Read More: Alex Turns Three 
It’s been a while since our last family-related post. With everything else going on, we forgot to mention that we had our final court hearing last Wednesday (the 8th). It was really a formality, but a requirement in order to get birth certificates issued for the boys from the United States. That just makes some [...] . . . → Read More: Adoption Finalized We received word today from Dr. Stubbs that the biopsy of the tumor does indicate lymphoma. For the possible cancer types, this is the best we could have hoped for for treatment. The company that does the biopsy wants to do further special staining which will hopefully help us understand what chemo treatments, and how [...] . . . → Read More: Update on Bacchus It blows my mind, but one year ago today, Lara and I drove to Karachev to meet Alex for the first time. What a blur! As you can see from the pictures, he’s changed quite a bit in that year. Not only has his fashion sense changed, but he’s much bigger, and a lot more [...] . . . → Read More: Alex – One Year Later It was three months ago today that we were starting our new life together in our home. When you think of it time-wise, that’s not so long ago. But when we step back and see how well the boys are doing, we’re simply amazed! Evan speaks mostly in English now (but does enjoy hearing some [...] . . . → Read More: Home Three Months 
This was a day Lara and I have been imagining for a long time – our first Christmas as a family. And what a day it was. We’re pretty much making up our family traditions on the fly. We’ll probably tweak some things for next year, but all in all this went quite well. I [...] . . . → Read More: Our First Christmas |
