One year ago today...

and on his 1st birthday, we met our gorgeous little red head, Maks-Joseph. He was so sad and so sick, his nose was a faucet, his eyes were red and we couldn't get a smile out of him that day. But those eyes took hold of our hearts and never let go.
It is truly amazing how far he had come in one year, from that sad, sick little guy who wanted nothing to do with mommy, only daddy, to now, where he has been so healthy, happy, active and loving both daddy and mommy equally! He has made great strides this year and we are so proud of him, for all he has been thru, all he has become and for all he will become. He is an amazing little boy!!

We spent yesterday afternoon and today down in Baltimore with Grammom and Poppy, (I got out for a nice adult meal with Tifany who was in town) and then today we went to the aquarium. The boys had a blast and it was a fun way to spend Maks' birthday.

Tomorrow though is the big bash! His 2nd birthday party, but first with us-we have lots of family and friends coming to celebrate his big day-we can't wait!

So happy birthday little man! We love you!!!
