My little Latin Loverboy is Three!
Well, Marty has been home almost two years and we celebrated his third birthday tonight. He had a great time with his cake and presents. I cannot believe he is growing up so quickly!

Oh, Sonia it seems just like yesterday that you got that news you were out of PGN with Marty. It was a long wait and the Hague really dragged your case but your guy was worth it all. He is really growing up fast.

Happy Birthday Marty,
Danny, Ricco and Mary

Wow, Sonya -- he's absolutely gorgeous! What a smile! It's amazing how quickly they grow -- Xiomara's case exited PGN the day before Marty's but I didn't get to Guate until 1/3/04. Our two year "celebration day" is approaching as well.

Maybe we should start a thread for those of us whose kids have been home for 2 years!
