Finally Able To Post Some Pics!

Here are some "pick up" and "home" pictures, I was finally able to reduce the size and post!!! Peter Jack is doing very well, the adjustment was pretty much instantly the day he was placed in our arms for the first time forever, Dec 19th! He is doing wonderfully, is understanding both languages (Spanish and English), he's so amazingly smart. He is happy, eats well, sleeps through the night, no less than 10 hours, crawls and lifts himself up and walks hangin' on to whatever he can find! He'll be 11 months old the day after mama's birthday, Feb 15th!

Peter Jack has been the ultimate Blessing, not only for DH and I but for the rest of our wonderful family. He has rejuvenated the grandparents, the uncles and aunts, and everyone in between! Thank you for letting me share our journey to Peter Jack, without your support it would have been twice as difficult!

Blessings,
Judy
