1yr ago today we were on our way to Russia

I can't believe what one little guy can do to a group of 4 people (Marty, myself, Tori & Madison). The girls and I were talking about how different our life has been with having Mason in it and how, this coming from the girls "they wouldn't trade him for the world". We were a very happy family before Mason with lots of laughs, love, hugs & kisses and having Mason here today has multiplied all that. Just when you least expect it he runs up and asks for a "squeeze & kiss". The girls and Mason have their little routine of goodbyes every morning when we drop them off at school & they are still excited about walking up to the car after school with the hope of Mason being in there full of hi's & kisses for all.
I've got a lot of "1yr ago today"'s coming up these next couple of weeks so check back.
Also I will be taking Tori to get her driver's permit on Tuesday so say a prayer for me. Today I let her pull the van into the driveway and instead of hitting the break when I had her back up to straighten it out she hit the gas and we went flying. It's funny now but I thought I was going to go through the dash.
To all you other "Krasy American's" (families we met in Russia) you are thought of also through these days of our firsts.
Much love to all,
Tammy
