Home almost 4 months!

Our son turned 8 months old today. He came home March 3rd. Not a day goes by that we don't thank God for him. His big sister is so in love with her little brother. Here is some photos of our son and big sister!

I actually did these photos myself, and used my photo software to jazz them up. Thanks for all the great comments so far.

Diane: Glad you liked the dvd. I will do the complete one for the whole year if you continue to send me photos each month.
