The Impossible Anniversary

Mr. Beaver:

This week we celebrated the one year anniversary of our adoption of Daria, Alexander and Oksana. For our family, we celebrate adoption anniversaries based on the day we land in America with our kids. As we celebrate this one year anniversary during Thanksgiving week, we recognize how much we have for which we need to be grateful to God. We can't imagine life without Daria, Alexander and Oksana. And we give thanks to God for the many miracles He performed to make this 'impossible' adoption (by human reckoning) happen. Praise Him from whom all blessings flow!

Note: In the photo, Alexander is carrying "his baby"--a giant snow ball he built on a hike the entire family took together.
