Our first Family Day, April 16, 2008

Today is a very special day for the Morrison Family as we are celebrating our first Family Day. One year ago today we stood before a judge in Uralsk and asked him to grant us permission to adopt Bryce Danil. After we were asked many questions by the judge and prosecutor and Wayne gave a wonderful speech on how much we had come to love Bryce and how much we wanted him in our lives, the judge declared us the parents of Bryce Danil Morrison. We are thankful everyday to have him in our lives.

We are celebrating our first family day by heading north to spend the night camping at a beach resort on island and then going to the petting zoo tomorrow. But first, we started the day off by Bryce opening his first Family Day gifts. So, his gift this year is his Kazakhstan t-shirt and a DVD with pictures from our first year together... (make sure to have your speakers on)

April 16, 2007 was a happy day for all of us! We can't imagine our lives now without that dear, sweet little boy. And my how lucky he is to have the two of you for his mom and dad!
We'll happily be thinking of you all on the beach at Okuma and remembering the fun time we had there with you a few years ago.
Just 59 days til we see you in Phoenix!!!! Love to you all, Mom and Dad
