Our baby girl turned 2 today! We are so thankful everyday that she is ours. Her birthmom, L, made a huge sacrifice to allow her to go live with people she didn't know very well in a place very far away. L made a choice not to parent Kassy, not because she didn't love her, but because she loved her. We visited L last weekend for a short time, and it was fun to be able to have Kassy "show off". I love hearing L and her family talk about who Kassy looks like and enjoy watching her play with the "Hey, Diddle Diddle" doll that L gave her for her birthday. Kassy's life certainly looks different from how I envision that it would have been had L chosen to parent, but then, so does mine, and I like it that way!

| Kassy playing at the Museum |
To celebrate Kassy's special day, we went to the Children's Museum and took dinner to Allen's office. We had "kakashka" (a yummy Russian cookie that David, Kassy and I made) and cookies for dessert. I stuck candles in two of the kakashkas and Kassy knew immediately that she was supposed to blow them out! Aunt G helped her.
Happy birthday, Chickadee! We are very proud and thankful that God chose you to be our forever daughter. We love you! XO XO XO XO
