Thursday, January 21st- Maks' 3rd birthday!!!
We celebrated with Elmo ;-). What else but?
Maks has been doing great with his English. He counts to 10 and sing his ABC's through H. He knew to blow the candles out when we put the cake down. It was kind of cool-thinking they probably celebrated birthdays in the orphanage with cake and candles. That's great! We don't think that the boys have had ice cream or popsicles before though- their faces told us that. They both love ice cream now ;-)!
Fin has been "talking" a whole lot. He tries, which is the best part, with a lot of sounds and a million facial expressions.
Pop Pop and Gramie come to visit and meet the boys! We had a fun weekend just hanging out and playing on their bikes, taking a few walks and trips to the playground. There is quite a bit of construction still going on in our neighborhood, so they enjoy just watching the workers, big trucks and scoops. The pictures above are from the airport- when the boys meet their grandparents for the first time ;-). They ran right up to them! The group shot is from our trip to Rudy's BBQ- one of our favorites ;-).
Fin has picked up quite a few nicknames already... bull dozier, meat ball and boom boom. The scratches on his face explain it. Not something we'll share with our social worker or adoption agency. wink wink.
