Roman Turns 2!!

Roman turned 2 on Feb. 25th, and he was Sheriff Woody from Toy Story for his party! He had a blast! We had a bounce house that was a hit with all the kids, and Roman loved being the birthday boy! Fun was had by all - here are some pics!!

Tubes

Roman's surgery to get tubes went perfectly smooth! He did amazingly well beforehand without having any food or drink after midnight. He was so cute in his little hospital gown that I had to take a picture!

He woke up very angry and cried quite a bit. He was a little disoriented as well. We got through it all and we were home by 10:30. His ears don't seem to be bothering him, but he is cutting teeth right now. So, I attribute any grumpiness to that.

We have a consultation with the urologist next week for his circumcision. I don't know when the surgery will be for that one, but I"m thinking that might have a little bit more recovery time. Poor guy!

Welcome 2011!

I'm looking forward to this coming year! Roman has been home 8 months now, and it's interesting to think about us going on our first trip to meet him last January. It's crazy to think how all of our lives have changed in just a short time.

Roman is kicking off the new year by getting tubes in his ears on Tuesday. I'm SO thankful and ready for this. I think it will help him feel so much better, and I'm also hoping it will help his speech by being able to hear better.

We had a great Christmas! We couldn't have asked for a better time. 2010 was an amazing year, and I'm looking forward to how God will continue to show Himself to us in 2011.

Roman was 9 mos old in these pics - close to when we received his referral.

This is when Roman was 4 months old when he first went to the orphanage.

One year ago we received our Christmas miracle of our referral for Roman :)

Here are some of his referral pictures! We are so blessed and thankful to have him home this Christmas!!!
