Only One Picture Today :(

Here is Stephen chowing down on some bread before we left today :) We don't have many pictures because we tested our videocamera today. We are still trying to figure out how to download the file now. We are going to get it though if it taked all night!!! Tomorrow is our little man's first birthday and we want to capture it on tape! We are really excited! We went to the bakery today and picked up a cute cake and some "sand cookies" (thanks for the recommendation Michelle!) for all the children. We can't wait!!!

Today, a representative came from the Ministry of Education. She basically represents our son and his well being. She asked us our age, how long we were married, if this was both of our first marriages, how many children were shown to us, if we liked this baby, did we see his medical records and are we okay with them and if we had any questions. It was painless :) Stephen is sooo good every time someone comes in the room. He is basically mesmerized by anyone new and just stares at them and listens. One step closer to having our little man forever!!!!

Our 1 year birthday celebration with Natalia (in Ust) is something I'll never forget - so glad you get to have this moment with Stephen, too. Can't wait to hear about Stephen's big day :-) Every day is one step closer to forever!

Have A great birthday celebration with your son!! When we were in Ust in 6/05 one of the families daughter turned one. She brought a cake and hats etc. The children were not allowed to have cake so the cookies are a great idea! Have fun, Kathy

Dawn and Joe,
Congratulations on finally making it to Kaz. I'm way behind on my blog reading with 3 kids and a new house. I'm so glad you got to spend Stephen's first birthday with him! Enjoy every moment with him - even if it's an 8x13 room.
Can't wait to follow the rest of your story.

Have a great day with your son! I was wondering what the name of the song is that plays on your blog. I just love it!

Have fun!
