1 year ago today, eli came home......

where does the time go? i can't believe it. i can't believe he has already been home a whole year!

to those of you still waiting...this day will come too. i haven't forgotten all the heartache over delays and waiting, but i promise i don't think about it much...and i just sit back and enjoy this funny kid. hang in there!

here is a picture of him last week, he is exactly 22 months today! and here is his referral pic!
