5 Years!

November 20 2006....

The day you officially became the Makadoodle!

5 years have gone by in the blink of an eye and it has been amazing watching you go from that scared, sick little 13 month old to the brave, brazen, courageous, loud, funny, loving and smart 6 year old you are today.

You are such an amazing character. You fill a room with your presence and your smile can light up anyone's day. You crack people up and half the time you don't even realize it!

The stories of your one liners, your funny facial expressions and your sideways glances are endless. I can't tell you how many times I have had people tell me, "God I love that kid".

You are intense, a perfectionist at what you are focused on and you will plead your case until someone acknowledges you are right. In the span of 30 seconds you can make us crazy only to have us laughing at you. You are an awesome brother and a great friend.

We are forever grateful that you came into our lives and forever grateful for those in Murmansk who made us officially a family of four.

Happy Family Day Maks-Joseph Kirill!

You have brought us such joy, love and laughter.

You completed us!

We love you to the moon and back!
