Another awesome day






We had a snow storm blow through but it was nothing compared to our day. We gave gifts out to staff at the baby house, we left donated items, we made photographs at request for staff. I have two new men in my life.
We then took Dias for his passport photos, took him out to lunch at our favorite cafeteia, ad back to our apartment to hang out.We then went to a children's arcade, went to the grocery store and rode the escalator 8 times because Dias LOVES mechanical things. Then back to the apartment for dinner with Inessa and Dias and us. We returned Dias in his new red sweat suit and with his light up shoes that he adores and after many kisses and hugs and reassurance from baby house mommas we left our little son one more but the last, time. He did well and seems to understand. Or was too tired to fuss..... He was holding his new shoes in his lap while we drove back to his home and he looked up at me and said "thank you" perfectly. A perfect moment in time.
Our friend Inessa then presented us with a beautiful tea pot with cups featuring a Kazakh design and said it was to celebrate our new family...our Kazakh family.
Our sons are Kazakh, and now we are adopted Kazakhs to all these wonderful new friends.
We are counting the days till we can have Cameron James Dias Collins join our American family.
