A Birthday!

Today, the 7th, was Max's 6th birthday.  I suspect his birth was an occasion for celebration, but don't think there have been any celebrations since.  Ruslan tells me that birthdays were not celebrated in his family or at the orphanage. Today certainly has been an exception to that.  He has had presents, a special birthday supper, a few friends from the neighborhood come by, and a wonderful cake. So much joy and excitment we experienced.  He was almost jumping out of his skin he was so excited!  Happy Birthday, Maximky!
