first birthday of our friends and Adolfina Ayana, who became a gathering of friends at a nice picnic, intimate meetings with parents and children and managed to involve the children so that he prepared pizzas then we ate children and adults and made for the occasion a cake that is one of the richest I've had in my life. That day we shared a little bit further with other parents known of other meetings and again see and embrace many of our "family by adoption," fellow-sufferers match adoptive courses and spend special time with Emelina, raw Adolfina with which it is very united and that led us to give pleasant walk to his house to meet his mother. It's more cozy and intimate family in the world! All of them made possible a day of games and great gathering in which we were very very comfortable.
Three days later, Diana celebrated her eighth birthday, if all birthdays are important this seemed to us even more because it was her first birthday in Spain and probably the first one celebrated case in his short life. 
Last year in Ust-Kamenogorsk had gifts for us, but we had a day early because our flight back to Spain was just the day of his birthday. So we celebrated in a small pizzeria in a town near our home with laughter, games and pizza ...
We celebrate and L Tuesday because last Saturday was the feast of Ayana and following the wedding of my younger brother. We shared an evening of celebration with a few friends, fewer than we would have liked, but as "the week" many could not attend, 
of which we remember a lot, and we know it had failed, for example Evelyn and Nikita business day if not, if unable to attend and join a very special event: Adolfina, Teresa, Noel's mother, Paco and Rosa, Our beloved daughter Sandra and Adriana ...
Children could come up, played up gorging on one of those small parks full of colorful balls, slides and swings quilting. It went so well that the scheduled time even lasted an hour and parents the time we flew, including conversation, laughter and secrets. It always does the magic of flight time and when it is comfortable.
Preparations.
Prepare a family wedding is always tricky, but just try to dress the house, and take care of details or particulars without much importance but who would put such a load of affection for it become transcendental. We really wanted this wedding party that had been infected by the illusion that they put the couple, we wanted everything to go well and everyone in our family put our small contribution in the field that we played, the perfect car and about, children lead the pledge and super cute rings ... and this is where we had more complicated, Diana is too big for their newly released 8 years and find a dress size 12 for the times it is challenging, which were appropriate for their age were in only small sizes (as much to 10) and their size seemed more suited for a concert to Hannah Montana, to deliver a deposit.
Fifteen days before the celebration even though we did not dress and the problem was to find a seamstress who made the dress with no pattern that I thought was a reasonable price (keep in mind that the pace is our children grow in a month clothing no longer serves you and this would be a dress to be worn securely on this one occasion) I searched online for brands, stores and nothing ... so I pulled down the street environment and went into a website ( http://www.gamgam.es/ ) where clothes that fit offered much to the idea that I had made from their employers can choose among models, fabrics and colors.
I contacted via email, gave me money and I expressed concern about the short time we gave them to do so if he accepted the budget. The dress came to a reasonable price, was what I wanted and the price much more affordable than what I had seen in stores, where neither size was not quite like the models, so I chose the fabrics, (since I had very clear model) I sent the measures called me and entered in your account half of the money they asked me and sent me the promised day via MRW dress, I paid the other half and well ... I've been so excited about its seriousness and the result I've decided to add your page to my favorites.
Then came Saturday ...
Defying the fate and my brother and his wife chose the day 13 to 13 hours to seal a compromise had already served more than 25 years. Oh the poor! the jokes that have had to endure, "that if it looks that you have thought" ... "if you walk that you have been quick" ... well, jokes all for a relaxed, full of love, full of people who wanted and free of bad vibes.
The day dawned bright, the famous sun always said he spends his winters in this city that welcomes us and takes up, looked in all its brilliance and no "spark" of wind (as they say here).
were all nerves at home and rush to the exact time of reaching the Plaza Vieja and meet with the bride's family and friends of both, as always, those of lifetime, none wanted to miss the accompanying my brother and his wife in a time now so important. Then soon came the bride and godmother to my brother more and my sister Elena, all gorgeous for the event. Nacho just saw my older brother came running into his arms. And then the bride wrapped in silk and moire with the godfather and the photographer, driver and father of my children.
We also met with Mary Muniz, who was the one who officiate the ceremony and we thank you so make a formal act a little less dry and it allowed our dear friend would say a few simple words but exciting. Elena, our very dear friend, whom we met through our mother for over thirty years and is an important part Our family came from Zaragoza and from there took care of the details of the ceremony from the pad to the rings (which carefully prepared his sister Carmina), prepare and edit a tabloid beautiful reminder of the moment, put music to the event, and as I say, with tremendous simplicity, and beautiful voice of announcer reciting a little poem, and to present to our loved ones, we are no longer with us.
The poem read:
"Love is not a partner which took
or that promise to have,
if not every morning that makes them choose to be
together.
is one for which
help each other.
is the one that makes them grow as individuals and
and as a couple.
is one that encourages them to be happy
each other.
is the love that decide
every day, sharing life. "
Then Elena helped Diana to say in an emotional Kazakh" live the bride and groom, "which brought well prepared, does not miss a detail ...
The act and turned out more memorable if we add the stories of a Nachete who refused to give the cushion with the rings that had been committed and restless but remained attentive to the bottom of table holding further distending solemn atmosphere often have these moments, one of his jokes was the entertainment in rolling his Bow Ties and drop as if it were a party blowers, all of it highly concentrated in The ceremony, which was the most comical. 
Luego la comida, servida en un acogedor comedor en el que dispusieron varias mesas redondas donde teníamos cada cuál asignado nuestra mesa y nuestro sitio y como quiera que en el buen criterio en colocar a los invitados reside una parte importante del éxito de estos banquetes, each guest was seated and served so that the good atmosphere prevailed during the entire celebration.
ate phenomenal, almost gargantuan-chat, share and laugh, there were details for all and then after the wedding cake was very rich and raised tables, tablecloths faded, but cheered the couple arrived on time open bar and free and "glamor" of the first children and adults dance without fear of ridicule from the kasachok Yenka, through-and non-Aserejé and the Macarena and music eighties, salsa, merengue, and here be encouraged, only a few steps-up the groom. we had!
was a day full of joy and full of love. Seeing my little brother and his wife happy happy her parents proud, to share this with those closest to us, our children so adapted and receiving so many tokens of love from everyone and see everyone happy, made it for me one of the happiest days of my life. One of those perfect days that are great because you live and share from the deepest affection.
was an important day a new family consolidated, two families were one and the same time was the "public presentation" of Diana and Nacho, our children, who got a warm and caring welcome.
The Anniversary.
And the ultimate celebration of the November events and that Edward and I decided to trip a second time on the altar of marriage November 19 five years ago, brought no children, but both had looking forward to starting a family. In 2005 that Diana had already been two years in the world and Nacho born two years later, when we had a year of bureaucratic intricacies collecting papers, certificates, qualifications and tests to overcome to develop a record that eventually go to China ... Curiously, in November of that 2007 it decided to open a second file for Kazakhstan, records that still take two years and many events before that was resolved.
was last November when a judge finally Ust-Kamenogorsk, the highest court in the world, grant us our children's paternity.
Now I live the present, learn to put aside, whenever possible, the urgency to focus on what's important.
Now that days of this month for us, the special month of the year, "be running again, I want to learn to enjoy her routine of little things the little moments that will not only stand back and ponder-if need-from November to November.
