United for one year

Today (Monday, Oct. 5) was our Forever Family one-year anniversary.

It's hard to believe it's already been one year since we were united with Jake. On the other hand, it feels like he always has been with us.

We are so blessed.

Hey Kevin and Violet....CONGRATULATIONS on your one year anniversary since Gotcha Day! Jake gets cuter and cuter every time I see a new picture of him! Are you doing anything special to celebrate?

Thank you so much. We had some plans, but Jake ended up with a stomach virus, so we just stayed at home and watched Veggie Tales. Just being together was celebration enough!

And, I should add, Jake is doing fine now.

1 year

Wow.... can't believe it has been 1 year! But then Myka has been with us for 7 months now. Now we are going for another. Much congrats on 1 year! That is a reason for celebration! -Karen
