Two years ago...

...today in a tiny court room in the middle of Russia a judge granted our adoption of Josh.  It seems such a long time ago now but I'll never forget how excited and relieved we were to finally hear that we would really be parents.  Here's our family a few days after the court hearing, still a few more days away from leaving Josh's birth region in late May 2010...

  And a few recent ones from a Cubs game Erich and Josh attended with my cousins last weekend and swimming yesterday...        I can't think of a better kid to brighten our lives and am so thankful that he was given to us.  Sorry for the lack of actual pictures with us but someone's got to be behind the camera:)  We'll have to try to get some family shots on vacation which we're leaving for this evening!  Be back with pics in a few days, maybe even a few of my stitching.
