Happy Birthday Bo!

February 17 is a special day for little Bohdan Sergei as he turns one. Although we can't be with Bo on his birthday, we are planning to recognize his special milestone with some chocolate cake and ice cream. Who knows, we might even sing.

In the meantime, we are doing everything we can to overcome the delays that are keeping us from traveling back to Russia. We continue to get small bits of good news, but we are still waiting for release letters so we can get a court date and bring Bo and Ellie home.

If you are so inclined, do something on Thursday to celebrate Bo's birthday. He won't be able to join you, but maybe he'll somehow feel all the good thoughts being sent his way.
