Is he really six?

October 12, 2011

Happy 6th Birthday Makadoo!!

It is so hard to believe that our baby is 6, it seems unreal. I feel like it was yesterday we were holding you for the first time on your 1st birthday in Murmansk!

While we didn't get to share that first year with you we have jammed packed alot of love, fun and adventure these past 5 years. You have brought so much silliness, smiles and laughter to our family.

Your smile lights up your face and an entire room. Everyone who meets comments on how gorgeous you are and how funny you are.

You are a true ham!

The things you say totally crack us up. Some recent lines include:


As my neighbor and I were standing on the sidewalk, Maks was coming towards us on a 4 wheeler and yells: "Part the way Ladies, I coming through"


At the end of Alek's game, the coach tells the team to line up. Maks says in his high pitched babyish voice, "I want to line up", I say, Maks please don't use that baby voice, Maks says in a very deep manly voice, "I want to line up".


You definitely march to the beat of your own drum, you are stubborn, persistant, smart, and courageous. You are full of love and you are not afraid to show it or say it.

We are so lucky you are our son and Alek's little bro. We love watching you grow and watching your personality shine through.

We love you so much, "to the moon and back"!

Happy birthday Maks-Joseph and we can't wait to celebrate with our families and friends at your Halloween/Stars Wars party!
