Hello Friends!  We are back from Russia with Vanya as our OFFICIAL son!  Enjoy the photos Papa has prepared below.  Thank you again for your support and love during the past year.  Hugs, Todd, Leslie, Allie, Jessica, Andrew, Vanya and Julia Broadland

Ridgeview Elementary School Welcomes Vanya on his 1^st day back to school, 2/19/08.

Ridgeview makes sure someone from Sac County Sheriff’s Department is there to welcome Vanya home! The faded autographed T-shirt was presented, by the students, to Vanya when he left for Russia 3 weeks ago. The hat is his one souvenir from the trip.
