It's been a year and four months-ish and wow... can you belive it? We're nearing the end of this roller coaster (or maybe we're just getting off of this one and on to another??). We couldn't have gotten as far as we have without all of you, so Thank You!
And here we go...
Introducing the many faces of.... Andrew Vasily, born August 22, 2005.

Much love,
Becky, Keith, Alex AND Andrew

More tears of joy! He is beautiful!
So happy for you guys!!!!
YAY!! We are so glad that you have shared your journey to Andrew with us. What a great video! I love the part where he is running to you. I also love the the photo of you two on the top of the slide and the one with him with the sunglasses in his mouth! Let us know how it's going! Congratulations on a beautiful, expanding family!!
What a nice job you did on that video, honey! My eyes actually teared up and they haven't done that since my beloved Yankees lost that aeries to ...eh...I can't even say their name...the team from Mass.!!! BTW...I hope you took along his Yankees hat or Derek Jeter t-shirt...gotta get him started off on the right foot, you know!! Going by the "bubbles" segment of the video he looks to be right handed so we have the correct baseball glove to get him going! Seriously, Dasha and I couldn't be more proud of both of you. Andrew ("DJ") is going to make ALL of our lives a little happier! I love you and can't wait for all of you to get back home. DAD

Congratulations! I actually checked for the video last night, it was working, and I was sobbing within 1 minute of it! (Yes, Alex and Blake thought I was nuts.)
You two are very deserving people and I am so glad Andrew is finally coming home!

Andrew is just so sweet and adorable what cute little lips with that pout! I love that! I'm so happy for you and the family! What a sweetheart! I've been blog stalking and I just have to say I'm so glad that you have him! A day early that is great! Oh and the video was so cute I teared up just watching you guys become a family! Congrats! I'm praying for your safe return home! Enjoy your time together as your first days as a family of 4! MJ
I'm so excited for you guys, and the video was awesome! My favorite part was in the very beginning where Andrew and Keith were playing Hungry, Hungry Hippo and Andrew grabbed one of the marbles and shoved it in the hippo's mouth. I like his style :-) We're going to get along really well :-) Hugs to the whole family!
He is adorable!!! Well worth the wait guys. I am so very happy for you- so happy I am tearing up in my office
What an AWESOME video! Andrew is beautiful Becky...congratulations to you, Keith, Alex and Andrew. You are all glowing of happiness in this video, I'm so happy for you! Now I have to go and wipe all the tears from my face after that video.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I've been hooked for weeks! Andrew is such a beautiful boy. I'm sobbing right now... I'm so happy for all of you! Best of luck with everything.
What a cutie batootie. I have a 4 year old that I'd be happy to set Andrew up with on a date in about 15 to 20 years :o)
So glad you received your Gotcha Day early! Yippee.
What a beautiful family! Can't wait to welcome Andrew home. Congratulations. Lori

I am balling my eyes out!! Oh my gosh, Becky, Andrew is the most gorgeous little boy!!! I am just so incredibly happy for you I could yell it out to the world. You all look so beautiful and happy together.
The pictures in the video were absolutely beautiful. You will be even more grateful for these as time goes by.
Makes me want to go on this crazy journey again!! :)
CONGRATULATIONS to you, Andrew and Alex's Mommy and Daddy!
Can't wait to get Owen and Andrew together someday!!
Becky
What a beautiful video. He is so beautiful. I just love his thick dark hair. He looks like he is already in love with you.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers,
Joy
Perfect. ;>
Congrats! I am so happy for you!
Oh Becky, I love the video just love it! My eyes are all watery... it was just precious! Congratulations!
Andrew is such a handsome little dude. I can't wait to watch the video when I get home.
Shyra told me to grab a kleenex before I watched. I needed them! I know I have said it before, but enjoy every minute that you can with Andrew. Hold him as much as he will let you. His is beautiful guys and the whole group is blessed to have found one another. Becky, when he was crying and you were walking with him, your body language was screaming "I am this child's mother.". Cindy A.
YEAH! Andrew is now a Mixon.. and he is an Andrew instead of a peanut! :-) Congrats guys.. To all of you.. I love what your Dad wrote below.. it was so cute, Becky.. I swear.. once things calm down I am coming to visit and I might even bring Katie with me if I can bust her away from waterpolo so tell Alex to clear his schedule of all of his women.. Operation In-Laws will commence!
First of all, Congratulations! Second, what an amazing video. Andrew will treasure that forever. Best wishes with the rest of the process and have a safe trip home. I can't wait to meet the little peanut!
I cant believe I missed this. Congrats. He is beautiful. I love when he is running into your open arms. I do that with my daughter. It just brought tears to my eyes.
Oh, I'm sooo behind on reading the blogs. Congrats! Peanut is just adorable! I know you guys had a rough start in your journey like us but once you hold your child all that frustration just goes away and you know that the waiting was necessary for you to have that perfect child for your family. God bless you and your new family member!
