Dear Addison ...

Happy birthday sweetheart! Your birthday has already begun in Russia, since you are eight hours ahead of us. Your Daddy and I are sitting here wondering if you are awake yet ... do you realize that you are two years old today?! Our hearts are broken that we cannot shower you with kisses and gifts today ... we trust that your caregivers will do that for us. Soon baby, soon ... soon we will have you in our arms forever and we will never leave ... that is a promise. We hope you have a great day today and that you are made to feel like the princess that you are.

Until next time ... hugs and kisses from afar ...
