Happy 1st Adoption Day Oliver!

A year ago today a really nice judge in Kirov, Russia told us we were the proud parents of Oliver Maxim Baer! In so many ways it is hard to believe it was a year ago already. In my heart it feels like he has always been my son but in so many other ways it is amazing that it is a year ago already. God has blessed us so incredibly with this amazing little man. He is the sweetest, happiest little boy I have ever met and to think God made him our son! It is just incredible.

To all of our fellow Kirov families that we traveled with I hope you feel as great about today as we do! Don and I know that God hand picked Oliver to be our son and brought us to him. There is no doubt that God made all of it happen!
I look at this picture and it just baffles my mind! Where did my baby go????? I look at my other baby, who is now 16 and wonder the same thing! Could someone please tell me how to slow this all down?????
