DEANNA'S 5th BIRTHDAY

We had a great fun filled day for DeAnna's 5th birthday. It started out at her first gymnastics class. She had a great time and I was pleased at the fast pace of the class. I think she will learn a lot.

Then Jon and I took her to the zoo. Her first time of course, and she loved all the animals. The weather was beautiful and we got to see the new baby elephant!

We then took her to Toys R Us and let her pick out a bike. She chose the Disney Princess model.

Then the whole family went out to dinner. They put a big sombrero on her head and sung happy birthday, she was all smiles!! Deanna had a very special and memorable first birthday with us.

About Us

This is the story of our family beginning with the adoption of our adorable, sweet, and spunky daughter Deiana, whom we adopted from Ukraine in February, 2008, at the age of 4. We have 2 handsome sons, Jordan, and Jeremy , and Deiana, now completes our family. Deiana was born with a cleft lip and palate. Her palate was never repaired in Ukraine so that was the first thing we took care of after we brought her home. Due to this she had never been able to speak, so we had to work very hard at home and in speech therapy. Aside from this she is very healthy and really has no other issues. Deiana is an amazing, loving, resiliant girl and we are blessed to have her.
