Hard to believe that last year at this time we were in Samara, Russia eating pizza and anticipating meeting this little bald boy that touch our hearts through the internet. We met Garrett on February 15th last year. He was a quiet little soul with big brown eyes, pale skin and hidden wisdom. He seemed to have his own agenda that we later figured out. I remember writing many emails home telling our family how he was passive and quiet. 
How we had not even seen him crack a smile or peep a word despite our many efforts. Even though he was not in court with us when we finalized the adoption, it was as if he knew from that moment forward that he would be loved by so many people. We got the bait-n-switch as we were taking off from the Samara airport heading to Moscow to continue the process of leaving the country with our newest Russian love. Once at the hotel in Moscow, Chris and I kept saying over and over again... do you think 
this is normal? Is he alright?? The bald quiet little soul turned hysterical and very animated. It was awesome to witness and to finally have him a part of our lives. So we celebrate this special Valentines day as we will every year... thinking of that little boy in Russia that became forever ours. They don't call it the day for LOVE for nothing....Happy Valentines Day!!
