Referral-versary

One year ago we saw this picture in an email from our social worker.



We laugh every time we look at this!





















Our little guy in stone washed jeans, pants undone, all with all big smile.

One month ago he took his first steps.

One hour ago he was eating pancakes at the kitchen table.

On May 15, 2010 we got The Call. It was what we had been waiting for, for three years. You can read about that here.

All we can say is, "What a difference a year makes."

Our Birthday Boy

Happy Birthday JT. This was a great day for JT. I would say this was the first year he really knew all about his birthday coming up, understood what it meant and was excited about the day. He has been talking about his birthday, his Shrek party coming up and turning 4 for the last few months.

He loved going to school and having all the kids telling him Happy Birthday. He would say, "Thank you, I am 4 today" as each kid said Happy Birthday.
JT is a great kid. He has gotten so much better about not throwing tantrums and just loves all his friends and has been enjoying the great weather. He is the best big brother, loves swimming and soccer and overall we just love this kid. He makes us laugh (and scream) everyday! We love you JT.
