This month has been very exciting for Nik. Its hard for me to believe it has been 8 months since he arrived home with us. As I wrote in my last entry, Nik turned 4 this month and we had a fun day of celebrations. He is still singing "Happy Birthday" to himself on a regular basis.
The other big event this month was our first family vacation as a family of five! We went to Cancun, Mexico and had a great time! Nik was not a huge fan of walking in sand, but considering he refused to take socks off his feet until about 4 months ago, that is no surprise. He did love the pools, the all inclusive resort (ie non-stop eating!) and the time together as a family. Here are a few of our favorite pictures from the trip!

June 20th also was the one year anniversary of the day that changed all of our lives forever. On June 20, 2012, we received this photo and a video of Nikita. We loved his face from the moment we saw him and knew God wanted us to be together. It is hard to believe that one year later, this same little boy is thriving in our home. We love him dearly!

| Nikita's picture from Russia that we received 1 year ago. I don't know how old he is in this picture. I suspect it was taken sometime early in 2012. |
