My cute little angel

Its been two months that we have had our little man. I just want to thank everyone on the board for thier help, suggestions and just hanging in there with us as we waited for our second trip (8 months later). Finally we were told the truth of why we waited in Russia, but thats another story. We got our 10 days waived and while in Moscow ( I kid you not) we ran into someone who lives in our neighborhood. I mean Seattle is small,but not that small! So here is a picture of our little man. He is the light and joy of our lives!

He is darling! I just love his curly hair. What a small world running into someone you know. BUT as a fellow Washingtonian, I must protest his attire. How could you (too funny)
