Celebrate Adoption Pictures
We had these pictures taken the end of August, but I just got around to scanning a couple of them to post. We received 50+ 4x6 pictures from the photo shoot. The photo session itself was a bit chaotic, trying to get two little ones to sit still and look cute, but we did end up with some really good pictures.
David turned one on November 20th and has been home 7 months now. Matthew was 2 on August 10. These boys are such a joy to us. We can't remember what life was like before they came along!! For those still waiting, my thoughts are with you and you really do forget the wait once your kids come home!!
