A community welcome
More than 30 friends arrived at the park pavillion this week to welcome Tara to the community. They were families from Austin's school. Our friends Mary and Rachel organized the gathering on this perfect day in July. Coincidentally, the party was July 27, the exact day that little Tara Vika turned 2 1/2. We missed her 2nd birthday; we didn't know her yet. She was still a resident of Little Birch Tree Orphanage in Ukraine and we don't know if they celebrated her birthday.
She loved the attention, and she loved the purple and white balloons, the wonderful gifts, the children and parents who played with her. We were overwhelmed by the support and generosity of our friends. Thanks to you all!

I am glad Tara had her coming out party. I can't get enough of her. I still want to do one for family here at my house. Before the summer is over!
