Srspiv, Mariais5, Pudding and Truegirl what adorable pictures!!

Here is my "HAPPY ENDING"!!

First picture is from a year ago when we brought him home.
Second picture is from our recent trip to Niagara Falls.

He is now two-and-a-half.


My pictures seem fuzzy and I don't know why? hmmmm....

Here's Juliana, my happy ending and new beginning, on her first trip to Disneyland. She LOVES her Minnie Mouse stuffed toy!

No matter how short or long, or how smooth or difficult the process, waiting is HARD! To all of you still waiting, keep focusing on that wonderful homecoming day, and all the joyous days that will follow. It's worth the wait.

This is one of my new favorites of my kiddos...taken at Busch Gardens Tampa about 3 weeks ago!

I also included a few of Trey taken the same day! He had a blast...
