Introducing our Son and Re-Introducing Myself

Hi, everyone. My DH and I had originally planned to adopt from Guatemala, but switched to domestic in November. We now have a nine week old son and I was hoping I could share a picture and introduce him to you.

Now that we've finally settled into our new lives (everything happened very quickly - in the middle of moving into a new home and dealing with the holidays), I am hoping to be back on the boards more regularly, but since I usually posted on the Guatemalan board and just lurked everywhere else, I guess I'm introducing myself as well.

Anyway, here's a picture of our little man, Grayson Jordan Paul. Thanks for reading and I look forward to getting to know all of you!!
