February has been a very busy month. First we celebrated Ryan's 17th birthday. How is it possible that we have a 17 year old son. Poor Ryan had big plans of going to see his first "R" rated movie on his own (not to worry, mom has to approve of all movies) but the poor kid got sick and so still now "R" rated movie for him.

Next we celebrated Sebastian's 7th birthday yesterday. He also had his first Valentines party yesterday at school. He has had so many "firsts" this past year for a boy of 6 years. He is doing amazingly well and is making incredible progress in first grade. We still have hurdles to overcome, but he is an amazing little boy.

Next week we celebrate his one year anniversary of joining his forever family. I can't believe it has been a year since we first looked into his beautiful brown eyes in Kunming. He is just not the same child. Next week Sebastian will have his first ever kid birthday party with 12 of his buddies!

And on March 7th we will celebrate 4 years since we were first handed the most beautiful baby girl in Hubei, China. Annabelle will then celebrate her 5th birthday on March 10th!

It has been a very busy start to the new year...It has been exhausting and stressful at times, but what a ride! I wouldn't have it any other way.
Happy Valentines Day to you all
Hugs,
Michele
