Happy Birthday, Elena!

Happy 33rd birthday, Elena! Even if you didn't have any balloons, with the cake and the roses and the Red Lobster meal earlier what a way to celebrate. What a difference 8 years makes! We'll never forget the day Tony brought you to our house to meet us. You were shaking like a leaf in the wind. The only English word you knew was "hello." But the love you felt for our son was spoken very clearly. And now you speak English just as clearly. We love you and thank you for taking good care of Tony and Nikita and Anastasiya!
