Adoption Day number 7 for Dash
After Dinner we all gathered to give Dash his gift from Russia.
When we adopted him I tried my best to gather as many gifts for his 18 years as I could.
It was made more difficult to do so for Dash due to our location.
We were only 500 miles or so above the Northern Afghanistan boarder three weeks after the special forces went in. We accually met one of those men at our 25th wedding retreat up in the mountains some years later.
It is a small world really.
Dash got to come home to us just the December after the 9-11-2002 attacks on the U.S.
We were unable to get him home until he was 10 months old.
It was four months of not knowing if we would ever get him out.
We had a wonderful Christmas child that year.
THIS IS MY SON.
Look at the grin he lost a tooth today
He was so happy with his child doll in Russian attire.
If any one can translate?
The cake was a snaggle because I made Chocolate frosting with making the teddy bear in mind, because of size I grabbed his second choice the Santa. I had the frosting made.
So Santa was just covered in chocolate frosting and sprinkles.
I felt bad about it but Dash did not mind, at least he said he didn't
After Company of the day left we all wnet to Panda express for chinese food.
Asia was the thiem

What a wonderful day, hey try going on line and type in something like translation, I did that when I took a Portuguese class, would write all my stuff down in English than translate it, mistakes where made of course so I wouldnt look so perfect and then make a butt out myself, if I was ever called on...;) just a thought to help make his day that much more special.. Please tell that Mr. Dash of yours I'm so happy that hes in the world, and how lucky he is too have you and your dear hubby for parents.
LOVE, BIG HUGS TO ALL~
