Happy Birthday Liam!

I can't believe Liam is 14 years old already! He has officially been in our family for as long as he was institutionalized in Russia. His Gotcha Day is January 12, and his birthday is the day after. Liam has progressed slowly, and I often wonder what he would be doing if he hadn't spent his first 7 years in an institutional setting. I try not to dwell on it, because it is such a depressing thought. To think of all he missed out on, those long seven years. :( But, there isn't a day, when I am not thankful that he is my son. No matter what he is able to do or what he is not, he is my precious little guy. And I am his mother. And I am honored, to say the least. So my little man, on your 14th birthday (this post is 2 months overdue), I celebrate you and your life. Your laughter, your funny faces, just your sweet, little self. Happy Birthday sweet boy! I love you bunches!
