Ian (Eagle) and Tracy,

AWESOME! That's one good lookin' family! The kids look great and I can't wait to meet my new niece and nephew. It's been a long road and you guys look really happy. Hope the rest of your trip goes smoothly. Make sure to get lots or rest and drink lots of Russian Vodka (for energy for long trip home). Can't wait to see you. Keep us all posted on your trip.

Congratulations!

Hi Tracy and Ian --


"Love is to the heart what the summer is to the farmer's year -- it brings to harvest all the loveliest flowers of the soul." Author unknown.

This is what little Joey and little Katia have brought to us all. Thanksgiving will be a very special day to us always.

As will the day before Thanksgiving - Happy First Birthday Katia.

We're soooo happy and excited, and can't wait to see you and hug you all.

With much love,

Grandma and Grandpa Z

Hi Fellow Zaretskys!!!!!!! We were holding our breath until we heard the "official" news. Now I can say....How ectastic we are for you!!!!! Our family was hard to come by too...in a different way. But having children is a joy that can not really be described until experienced. And you are doing that right now! CAN NOT wait to meet your beautiful family and spend many many many fun times together. I can not tell you how happy we are for you. Congratulations! Love, Liz, Rob, Sammy and Charlie
